Why is that I have 5 bars and safari, weather, twitter, etc load quickly but whenever I try to load the app store it takes forever and most of the time doesn't even load? Just wish it would perform just as the other apps do because I feel like I can't even use the iPhone to it's potential when I can't even browse for apps.
 
That's strange, mine seems to be working perfectly fine. When did you guys start to see the slow down?
 
It's been terrible for me for a few weeks now, spanning three phones both jailbroken and stock. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm on WIFI or 3G, it's just plain bad.
 
Just tried mine (iP4, JB'd on 4.3.3, WiFi) and it seems to be working normally. My phone uptime is only about a day though, since I just jailbroke yesterday...
 
I just opened up the App Store on my iP4, and it has been loading the "updates" (which appears that there is only 2 updates available) for almost 2 min now...

EDIT: Finally loaded... now watching it sit there and actually try and update the 2 apps. Painfully slow. Wow...
 
App store is slow on my phone and the whole iTunes store is anything but quick on my computer, hopefully Apple will tackle the problem shortly.
