This problem is clearly network or cache related, and Merrill may have fixed it.
Yesterday with our building Google Mesh network, using PM 32.5.2 on a Win10 machine with "override cache management" on and set to 0MB, mymerrill.com loaded the blue wave in a few seconds and the login form in less than 2 minutes.
Taking the same machine to a public library wifi, the entire form was usable in less than 3 seconds.
Back at our building, I tried the MS Edge that came with Win10, and mymerrill.com produced a blank screen, it saying "waiting for cache", for more than 5 minutes. Then I closed Edge. Trying the PM 32.5.2 again, it spent a lot of time "transferring data from styles-olui1.fs.ml..." and then "waiting for scripts-olui2.fs.ml..." and then "transferring data from scripts-olui2.fs.ml..." and finally, after 5 minutes, showed the blue wave.
Closing & opening PM 32.5.2 again, clearing cookies, and unchecking "override cache management", then closing PM and restarting Windows, now Edge opened the login form within 2 seconds. and PM had the blue wave in 1 second, and the complete form in 2 seconds. My connected Linux machine with PM 28.16.0, which still has "override cache management" set to 0MB, had the blue wave in 12 seconds, and then the form in another 10 seconds.
Clearing cookies from PM28 and unchecking "override cache management", (but not rebooting Linux), PM28 did the same thing: blue wave in 16 seconds, complete form in 21 seconds.
So it seems that "override cache management" doesn't make any difference, and the issue is in the Google Mesh Network. Maybe they or Merrill changed something today.

What network connection do you use that you see the "blue wave" or does everyone see it, but only fleetingly? Knowing what stage in script-loading that is would make it easier to describe to others (Google, Merrill) about this network issue in the future.I do see the blue oscillating wave
