I have not noticed this. I ran a couple of test with debug on and the admin is about the same speed if anything slightly slower. I get .5 sec load times on our dev box for front end and .8 for admin

Well, well. Weird. Is the user site is supposed to look the way it looks? Seems like some style sheets are missing. I selected T10 and there was no change.
Plus, for some reason the icons on the admin site are not shown. I only get the alt text. Damn, I wanna see the icons, now! :)
Must be your setup. I have installed tested this several times now and every time with stylesheets and icons.

I know this is "teaching you to suck eggs" but it works... honest.
