Online poker integrity question

To be clear before I post this, I"m not part of the "online poker is fixed" brigade..... i believe online poker is perfectly legit (I wouldn"t play it so much if I didn"t).
BUT..... I have a question.
I was playing a game this afternoon on Littlewoods (pacific), and was a big stack - this hand in question is not an exit hand. I re-raised all in with KK, and the original raiser called with A9. The flop was dealt at a standard speed, the turn was dealt immediately.... then there was a pause of maybe 8 seconds before an Ace was dealt for the river. This river card delay seems to happen every now and again (not all the time) on most sites that I play.
If there was always a delay before river card is cealt I would understand. However it seems the river card delay only ever happens before a suckout is delivered.
Why?

It"s a delay to stick it in your eye. It takes the software a while to find the right card that will fit perfectly into your eye. It has to check that the colour is right, so not as to give you a flush by accident, etc.
Even funnier when it disconnects you at the same time in order to wind you up even more. Who said software developers don"t have a sense of humour?

How many software developers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Two - because one always leaves part-way through the project.
Boom Boom!

Has anyone played on DTD"s site much? If so have you experienced any issues / do you have any general comments?
I ask because I played for the first time tonight (I made it a resolution to play more online satellites than live MTTs mid-week) and 3 times on my table people got it in Pre with the same hand AA, KK & AJ only for 1 player to 4-flush each time.
This seems a statistical improbability to me.
LongshanksED:
Seems rough but it is just variance it looks bad and rigged but sites aren"t gonna be any better off by rigging the draw one way or another
I seen quads 3 times over 1 hour in a pub tourney tonight. Different dealers each time too.
That"s poker as they say!
