Garry,
That's only because IE is clearing the window before it starts parsing the page
for display. Firefox is doing it more efficiently. Not much you can do about
that end.
However, looking at your code, there are a lot of things you can do. I didn't
look at it in detail, but is all that JS necessary? And you are duplicating a
lot of styles inline. The result is your main page comes out to over 17K - you
could probably cut that in half with the proper use of style sheets.
Additionally, your images are over 180K. mak_205_160.jpg itself is 103K. You
should try to cut the sizes down. For instance, changing the jpeg quality of
this one file from 79% (your value) to 50% resulted in a file that was only
46.5K in size with no noticeable loss of quality.
You should be able to get the entire page size easily down to 70-80K, resulting
in faster loading time and less of a delay. You can get more hints on how to
optimize your pages in alt.html.
