Did Yahoo add marketing software recently?



For a few weeks now it seems like yahoo’s performance/speed has taken a huge hit.
What I do notice is the banner ads that target me related to a recent search or words in my personal emails come at a faster clip than before. But this same software seems to have wreaked the speed of Yahoo that I have come to know and love.
Anybody else notice the same?
Ok, what I did realize is that ie8 will not advance to a link until the whole ad plays which some can take as long as 10 seconds. Caught the name of it at the bottom and says something like adyeildmanager or something like that. I did read on a financial site that most www hosts will be experimenting with a new way to charge for internet up and above what you pay now. I hope they don’t take too long with the experiment. It may just be the perfect push for me to stop using the internet so much if it continues to be so slow. Thanks for all your answers.
