I couldn’t print out my Southwest boarding pass because the page hadn’t finished loading. Turns out it was trying to get images that were taking forever to load:

Looks like Southwest is using OpenX for hosting “ads” on its boarding page site. Just seems like a silly idea.

On the other hand you can blame the site admin for inserting ad tag that halts the whole page load. IFrames eg. don't do that.
