WOW...........It has to be on the server side. Cause the reason why I have the "spinning wheel" and pictures changing is because the animation, as far as I can see, doesnt slow down pages loading on my computer.

The animations run smooth on my computer, as does Dooby's avatar (which is one of the best around), The sig of the video clip of Finley dunking on Yao, sig of another vid clip of Finley dunking taken form atop the rim, etc..........all these animations run smooth and havent slowed the loading of pages on my end.

This leads me to believe the problem might actually lie with your computer or your connection. Maybe the problem is what type of graphics card your using......Because on my computer, I have no problems at all with the speed of pages loading. And I assume the others that use animation like Dooby also dont have problems either..........
