[thelist] Google analytics slowdown (was "GoDaddy SSL Verification")

[Stephen Rider]

I used to see this all the time.  I've seen a number of sites stall  
_completely_ while waiting on Google.

It got to the point that I installed AdBlock just to block calls to  
google analytics.  Problem solved (for me anyway).
