thales is rarely "down" and when it is it does not affect the time
for the page to be generated.  The MySQL server and the web server
are on the same machine and connection time has no relation to thales.

I don't know what could cause the slowness you describe, other than
simply machine load or a momentarily poor connection between our web
server and yours.  But I do know that the page generates in the same
speed whether thales is running or not.

Finally, I don't really see what the problem is since any browser
loading a page with images in carries on loading the page content
even when some images are slow to load.  Even if the images never
load, the rest of the content is readable.
