I agree with you. I noticed something about Delicious: when I add a URL, it's rare that someone else hasn't already bookmarked it. That means that Delicious has, to a first approximation, everything interesting on the web. All organized by humans in a rich way. That's an astonishingly valuable data set. Relative to that value, the use that's being made of it is so low it's criminal.

Even if they aren't capable of evolving it, I wish Yahoo would at least make it fast enough that I don't cringe every time I use it.

pretty much every change Yahoo has done has been a step backwards, except for changing the url to delicious.com

That was actually my decision! We bought the domain before the acquisition. I think I heard it on the radio as "del issy oos" and knew it had to be changed.
