LOL, that post is unsubstantiated half truths at best. Yes, if the defense files a motion, while the motion is being considered it tolls the clock.
In this case, the great bulk of the delay is the prosecutor, years after the indictment, repeatedly going to court and claiming he's not ready for trial and asking for a "one week" delay, which because of the backlog in court turns into 6 or 8 weeks, until 10 or 12 "one week" delays turns into years of delays.
