I think it may have something to do with the new eBay picture service.
Yesterday when I was looking at auctions the images were taking forever to load and I have a DSL line. I noticed after a while that they were all auctions that didn't use the eBay picture service.
Last night on the DNF Board someone was commenting on slow loading time of pictures too. This person seemed to think that eBay had done something to give priority to images on its service and images on other servers had to "wait in line". I don't think this is possible myself since it is a HTML command to find the images on a remote server and shouldn't have anything to do with eBay, but something is screwy since eBay rolled out picture hosting.
