I've noticed that as well, last time my posterous was linked to on HN several people in #startups noted that it was quite slow.
At a guess if Sachin's not seeing it, it may be down to the TCP config on the fronting server, if it's badly setup it can vastly increase the number of network roundtrip data takes to be sent, so people on more remote networks (i.e in Europe/Asia) may well see significantly slower times.
We were seeing some high load times earlier this month because of increased traffic. but earlier this week we added a bunch of boxes, cached most pages, and generally improved the speed of the site across the board.

if you are still seeing issues, let me know.
