Odd, that site works really well for me. That is I get
it through rabbit a few seconds.
And since all the images seems to have size given in
the html the text show really quick.

Images seems to come from that site yes.

Since it works fine for me its hard to say. What configuration are
you using for rabbit?

Did rabbit have some of the images in the cache?
Did your browser have this site in its cache?

Could be a nice idea. will see if I do it in the future. But dont
expect it in the near future, I do not develop rabbit much anymore
(it work quite nicely for my needs so no big things to fix).
