Resize your thumbnail images. Each of your thumbnail images is 300k - 500k in size. That is HUGE!!! They should be no more that 100k each. Even that is still considerably large for the amount of images you are displaying at once. But that is where you will speed up the loading of your pages.

You need to create actual, small thumbnail images for use on that page. The technique you're using is called "dumbnailing" and results in exactly the problem you're seeing. Doing it right will result in about an order of magnitude reduction in page load time.

I would suggest making the image 5-10KB in size, using either a low quality jpg, or using gif extention.

5-10KB will speed up your 2 or more times faster than what it was loading.
