I usually run through Firefox + Safari.  Hitting the "photo gallery" button sometimes loads fine, but most of the time takes a really long time to load and react.

Thanks.

Glad I'm not the only to experience this.  I jumped on there with my brand new computer thinking I could smoke through some pics and couldn't even get the Photo Gallery loaded.

There are maybe 6 to 15 different servers between your computer and the RE site and if just one of them gets lazy it can slow things down real fast.

Plus it must be said that there are a lot of people online who either don't or can't resize their photos to a more manageable size, and that slows things down as well.

Really slow for me as well.  Click "Gallery" and it sits there loading for a full minute before the page even changes. 

Definitely not my computer or network either.  Both are top notch.
