Especially during the summer months, SFO could get really foggy. Seems to have affected take off times as they needed to take more precautions.

Been to SFO airport so many times. The most important thing to remember is that is it a very busy international airport, but due to its location it has a very limited number of landing/takeoff runways. So, with bad weather expect major delays. Plan ahead and realize if you are catching a connection from SFO, it could be severely delayed, causing you to miss your next flight. I always give myself 2 hours at minimum between connections. If there are no problems, then I have time to hit the bar for a quick refreshing-adult-beverage.
Your so right, and many time have we been delayed flying out to San Barbara and more.
