I can't see a bad performance of the with my new laptop which has a
quite performant CPU. But I can remember the old times with my T40 and a
1,4 MHz Intel Mobile CPU (which is similar to the 2.2GHz desktop
processors). With this setup, the performance of those imageviewing
scripts where very bad.

Anyways - I think the problem is the semi-transparent overlay. That
slows down the browser :(
