It usually takes 6 or 7 posts on the new page of the FSF for the software to update.  I think it's because FSF is so large now.  You can usually see it by replying or sending a post from a visible page.  

No, I've seen this on another forum.  It's caused when posts in the topic are deleted.  Evidentally, the paging and indexing get confused...  Sucks though.

How many posts can they be deleting that it slows every page in the FSF?  It may be true, but I think the size of FSF comes into play because all 25306 posts have to be re-aligned.  
 
I'm not privy to how the forum software works--I'm more of a hardware guy.  This is why I'm on this train of thought.    When I first started pre-mastering CD's back in the days of NT 4.0, we used to load the whole album's songs from DAT into one very large file(for the time) in real time.  Starting with the last song, we would cut and paste the last song from the long file into its own file.  If we cut even a second from the beginning of the large file, we might as well go to sleep and the edit would still be running in the morning.  That was because the software SAW(Software Audio Workshop) had move every bit in the file.  I know because I tried it once.  We learned to work around it--it was just part of the learning curve and being on the bleeding edge back then.  
 
Maybe they are deleting some files, but I haven't noticed these delays on any of the shorter threads.

Deleting posts has nothing to do with the speed Jan, but with the counter that says a new page has started.  In other forums, you see "Post Does Not Exist" errors on pages you KNOW have replies.  In this forum, we just have to add extra posts for the new page to show.
 
There's just some bad programming that isn't decrementing some internal counter when a post is removed (or multiples, like when a user is removed which removes all of their posts as well).

Enough yapping.  Here's a video that should explain everything.
