Are banner traffic exchanges slow?

I have the feeling that banner exchanges slow down my site.. specialy arcadebanners..

It's 1 extra request per exchange most of you have like 5 or 6.. doesn't it slow it down alot?
Anyone else has this problem? Or suspect it be..

Yes, they do slow down your site. Get used to it.

Depends on the code. If they use iframe code, your site will continue to load. Their banner might even appear after your site completed loading.

I know one exchanger that does not use iframe code and their banner will have to load first before you site continue to load.

Yeah im not a fan of iframes, you can't validate your site if u use them.
They should speed those things up, page speed is a big factor.. and also animated banners, we should use gamethumbnails instead!
