Clearly you don't know how networking works. Logs can be kept by whoever runs the VPN servers, or the routers, or the firewalls, etc. Logs can be kept at all times.

Believe me, having a VPN does not mean your activity on the network is unlogged.

There is a reason why organizations like the EFF only recommend Tor, and do not recommend VPNs. Tor is provably anonymous; VPNs are not.

The sites load so slowly because your connection is passed through 3 nodes, often located in different geographic locations to try and increase the chances of getting three owned by different people.

If you want total anonymity, you need to sacrifice some usability at some point.
