[thelist] Google analytics slowdown(was"GoDaddySSLVerification")

[Gersten, John]

Even as I am oh-so-obviously unclear on precisely what is going on at the Google end of things, I'm fairly certain it has to be more than a one-time download of a script file, because there are occasions when I see this "waiting for Google analytics" status message multiple times within a single browsing session.

Perhaps that the script has to talk to the Google servers to get the information it's gathering to them.
Downloading the script is only part of the communication with the Google servers
