It would be welcome if such a feature was available to all users as it tends to feel like pushing on someone or spamming round the site if leaving behind a comment every time just to say you were there.
I suppose this would be useful also for non-native speakers of English (or Russian) as it's rather hairy to get into a conversation with another person from your own language sphere - just because, outside of commenting or writing PMs, there's no way to let them know you were visiting. And for the most part, the best possibility to find any people from your own country at all is through the Directory Search via searching by country... It's less likely you'll do so by accident when being active in a community or commenting to random journals.
For communities, I suppose, this might also be useful, especially for small ones who aim for a specific audience, or which aren't part of any bigger fandom community (some people tend to forget such exist too).
Oh, and @siderea - this is Google Analytics making the site being slow randomly?! I kind of tried my way already through to find out what does that, and at least I found out it's no Firefox plugins going partially broken from time to time! But neither does browser change alter anything on that, it originates in the page loading at all... If it's just a certain part of it, which even can't be found on all subpages (journals, profiles, own Inbox), then this would make some sense in not being a permanent issue.
