Compatibility mode is so applications written for prior versions of IE will display correctly. But, since you reported some speed improvement when using that mode I tried it. No change.
Not knowing exactly how to check data routing between wherever BF is coming from and my machine I can't determine that impact. But, I doubt it is significant.
Based on the "waiting" messages when I come to this site it appears the problem is actually how the context sensitive advertising is handled.
However, since the smileys on the message page do not display correctly I also suspect there are some unresolved code issues from the last "update". That is reinforced by my not having any problems until that update.
