Well the site loads fine on quick connections.  However you might want to
revisit the size of your images, they are all well over 14-15k, which if
on a dialup and you have 4-5 images on a page, it will load perceptibly
slower over a dialup connection, or only a slight hesitation over a higher
bandwidth connection.

So in summary, optimize the size of those graphics!
