Lodestone Images Slow to Load

[lackofwords]

Is anyone else having the slow loading images for the lodestone user uploaded photos?

For example the image below takes a few seconds if not over a minute to load sometimes;


While the same image hosted else where loads under a second for a full download.

It becomes more apparent for me when loading the community blog wall;

Me too. Lodestone images have been very slow for me. So slow that initially I though the images were broken when I was reading other people's journals.

Yep, noticed this for a while now. Only on the blogs though, not on the forums.
