Here's something that will speed up your Yahoo browsing and a number of other sites for that matter...
http://everythingisnt.com/hosts.html You replace your hosts file for this one, which is a large file of sites that will cause ad site addresses to resolve to your own PC (127.0.0.1). Um, err, no, on second thoughts don't replace your hosts file, just add the contents of this one to the end of your current one (windows or linux). Saves a tremendous amount of image loading on sites like Yahoo and you only miss the adverts! I think it's pretty neat and simple way to do it [pause to be shot down by Geek 617 Squadron].
