Looking at the html code again I'd say it's too many requests.

I did some more tests. On my Pentium M notebook the page loads in about 5 secs. The page without pics loads in about 4 secs. Now these are good times.

Also I noticed that docs from view.atdmt.com load always at the very end many times prolonging the total load time. The delay comes from using document.write in JavaScript, which is done at the very end when the page is being rendered.

It was on a 4 old computer, a 1GHz Celeron. My Pentium M notebook does load tha same page in bout 5 secs. So, 20% slowdown can be attributed to the very old computer.
