The first URL loaded in both FF 9b1 and IE9 for me. It loaded a lot faster in FF
The second URL loaded at about the same speed in FF and IE. Loaded at what I consider normal speed.
The first URL showed 7 tracking cookies and about 7 scripts according to NoScipt. Based upon my experience about an average number of scripts.
The second URL has only 1 tracking cookie and very few scripts
Script Shield did show a little bump in activity when I loaded the pages but not anything I would consider outrageously high.
P.S. Thanks for the posting the second link. Jazz fan here
