Whether I am on a T3 connection or a 56.6 modem the performance of the LEGO
pages is essentially the same. I do not think it is an over crowding issue on
the LEGO site because most of their pages that load slowly are OK, but the bulk
page is unbearable. I am guessing that is has something to do with all the menus
(the shopping cart and wish list buttons?) that have to load.
