it isn't related to the chat bar - it's related to some oddly intermittent database problems that have been popping up on us lately. we're working on it, but it's painful :(
Slow site

ok, thanks Erik
I've noticed chess.com has become incredibly slow at times in the last week or so, and especially after the new Chat Bar has arrived.
Now, pages will quite often half-load, and then hang for a minute or more. This includes chessboards not loading all the pieces.
Apparently some others have noticed this as well...
