I thought this was only me, so I didn't want to say anything... Whenever the game contacts the master server, gets really slow. When I click on the "Display list of games" it takes for ages... (empty=no, private=no), then I click on a server to you and then the game "connects to the master server" for 30 or more seconds, and when it connects I load the track, connect and play in under 15 seconds...
