arethinn: Zorak raises his fist in anger (angry (zorak fist))
Does anyone know what parts of LJ page content are served from l-stat.livejournal.com? I saw someone complaining in a comment on Dreamwidth today that s.dreamwidth.org was a horribly slow subdomain for them and did anyone know if icons or whatever were served from there as they were considering blocking it to speed up page load times. At work (works OK at home, so I conclude it's something peculiar about net traffic routing to/from this location) I feel the same about l-stat. I often see "Connecting to l-stat.livejournal.com..." for many seconds down there in the status bar before anything on the page loads at all (22 seconds in the case I just tested), and even after most of the content seems to have gotten served, I'll sometimes see it again/more, holding up the works. So I'm wondering what I'll miss if I try blocking this server somehow (hosts file, maybe?) so its content isn't even attempted.
