Is there anyway to use this site with dial-up?

Every time I try to use the site I gets ads that max out my cpu for a long time. It is obviously due to the ads. Maybe zillow's graphic interface is also part of the blame. I do not need to look at a amp here. I do not want movies for ads. Can we pretend we are back in time 3 years and make this site more accessible and a lot less frustrating?

When I max out my security features it tells me I need to enable scripting. But at that time I do not have my computer just hanging and trying to work but unable as it is being overloaded. With lower security settings I guess the scripting is allowed but the computer can not handle what it gets. Is there any solution so I can easily use zillow?

All the time it took me to type this and my computer is STILL at 100% of cpu usage. I need help to make this site usable.

I used dial up on the site exclusively for  2.5 years, up until 2 weeks ago.

Turning off images helps; but it is actually the JAVA SCRIPT that causes most of the problems.

You don't need Java Script if you are not posting and not using the interactive maps and property lookups.

But the real solution is to use FireFox and the add-on "ad blocker plus", and create custom filters.  On the "mixed bag" category a couple months ago, I posted what filters I'm using.
