Little did I know.
I have Google set as my home page in Firefox. Not that I'm there that often, but I use Google Reader almost every day. Google.com always redirects to google.co.kr by default. I think Google does this for better results while searching in any given region. Problem with Google's Korea site is that it takes almost a minute to load. I just discovered Google's NCR option, which stands for "no country redirect."
I set my home page url to "google.com/ncr" and "google.com" pops up immediately. No more minute long waits to get working online. I love it.
