[Ruby] rails + openx + valueclick

[ben wiseley]

We just integrated an OpenX ad server ( http://www.openx.org/ ) into
http://holidaygolightly.com (stop laughing at my "career" - at least I work
with all women :) and it's pretty much killed site speed.  The OpenX box is
running at something like 3% of CPU utilization so I think the slowness is
actually loading the valueclick ads.

I was wondering if there was some strategy to post load the ads so the rest
of the site doesn't wait around for them.  I was thinking of adding them
after page load event with ajax or just plain JS but didn't know if that was
kosher with advertisers or if there was some better method.

Any advice?

Thanks,
