slow page loading?
I don't know if this is related to the same server issues clogging the uploads but thought I'd start here before starting a new thread....my uploading seems to be going fine, but my page images (smugmug classic style) are loading very slow. I checked another smugmugger's site and hers is doing it too.
Does the original image size play a part in this? If I want my "portfolio" images to load faster, should I upload web-optimized images? I did this for my auto-slideshow on the homepage, and its as slow to load as its ever been. There's an 8-second or so lag before the site displays at all. Then 4 seconds before the first image loads. Not cool.
For good measure, I have looked on my home DSL with a 2.8mhz Vaio and T1 work setup with dual-core Dell. Looked in Firefox and IE6. I know I sound picky but my customers don't have as fast connections as I do.

when you click on a thumb, its 6 seconds or so before the image displays.
