I have 3Mbit/sec connection and also encounter the slow page load.
You should use some free analyzer to speed things up like:

Hope this helps.
(Just a thought from SEO point of view: spiders will crawl your page easier if the links are text based.)
Thanks, that is a useful little tool there
It was actually your site that inspired me to change the layout/design of mine, even though they look very different, i was kinda building mine off of your design, keeping it open in a seperate window for reference, i don’t know if you should feel honoured or what.
Anyways, let me compare all the sites here using this load speed tool

Well after looking at that, i gotta believe what you all are saying is true, i guess this is what they call experience, i can’t redo the site again, i will go insane, it’s staying as is, i’ll just do another site.
Thanks
