Images take up a lot more space that text, so naturally they are going to take a lot more time to load. But another reason why it takes longer even though you have DSL could be because the server you are getting the image from is either very busy, or on some slow free server like Geocities, or Homestead.
You could say that the BB is taking longer to fully load (becasue of the other pics), but the server is operating like it always has been. So if we load the BB with tons of pictures on each post, the text and all the other ChiefsPlanet pics will load normally, but the page will take longer to fully load on your computer because the other images haven't all been downloaded from the other servers. So the ChiefsPlanet server is functioning at the same speed and uses the same bandwith, but it just takes longer for the whole page to appear on our screen. Posting, viewing tables and text, searching, etc. should all take the same amount of time. Does that answer your question?
