Thats just lack of bandwidth to the slower sites usually.. or a 
network problem..

Yep same problem here.

web pages are split up into lots of seperate files a normal web page 
will have a different file for each graphic on the page and only 1 
text file to describe where everything goes all of the parts are 
downloaded seperately.. thus a text web browser can just skip the 
graphics

Definately :>
