That was the case some time ago, but according to the plugin site[1]
New in version 2.0: Ads are actually blocked from downloading
now, instead of just being removed after the fact!
I've also tried AdThwart, but went back to AdBlock (I can't actually
remember why), and it works for me on slow connections.

PS. The downside to ABP working properly now is that we'll no longer
see those ridiculous conspiracy theories and resulting flamewars about
why Google was so slow to implement the necessary API...
