Optimise the site, buy some quality bandwidth and get on a CDN.

Both sites take about 40 seconds each for the whole page to fully load. Although my download speed isn't anything to boast about if it wasn't for actually doing it as a test I wouldn't have waited that long unless your sites had been loading in a tab in the background while I was already looking at something else.
