I'm just not seeing this poor performance.  I'm running Linux on an AMD 
Athlon64 3200+ running at 2GHz and I viewed the site on a laptop with an 
AMD Athlon XP2800+ running at 2.2GHz (I believe) running Windows XP Home 
Edition and neither system has been unresponsive during the loading of 
next.gimp.org, navigating the pages, or loading images.

The "LightBox" JavaScript used to load the screenshots incurs some 
processing overhead but nothing unreasonable (at least not to me).

Peace....
