Hi Michael,

as it is hard to tell how long a request will take: How about delaying the
display of the image for the 'annoying' amout of time? Something like this
(untested):
$().ajaxStart(function() {
$(#loading).pause(500).show();
});
$().ajaxStop(function() {
$(#loading).clearQueue().hide();
});
This would delay the display of the image by 500 milliseconds. If the
ajaxStop function is called, the queue is cleared, to prevent the image from
showing at all. If it was displayed, it is hidden as normal. This can be
achieved with Jonathan Howard's pause plugin: http://www.mythin.net/pause.js
