micky,

... said something like "transferring to google analytics".

What is the purpose of that?

"google analytics" is a server/service which gathers statistics about page
hits, and makes them available to the website owner (afaik, for free)

So one statistic might have been tonight, when it took a long time to
get some parts of the page?

If it had gone quickly, google analytics wouldn't have noticed, been
called, kept a record?

Though the consensus is that Google uses them to track a visitors movements
over the 'web (alike spypixels, but with some benefit to the website owner,
so that he will keep using them).

Blocking the "google analytics" domain does not seem to have any adverse
effects.
