I got tires of waiting for page 17, yes it loads very slow because the pictures are so big.
Another thing you can do to keep the pictures small in size is after you resize the picture to about 8inch by what ever it ends up being (I cut the largest side down to 8" and don't worry so much about the other side), then reduced the resolution to about 75, it does NOT hurt the pictures for viewing and I have never had anyone complain about not being able to see what I've posted. hope this helps
