When I click on the page reached by clicking on "Products", it loads http://www.ian-stansfield-smith.com.au/stocklist-pdfs/Ian_Stansfield_Stocklist_final.pdf into iceweasel. Nothing's saved unless I click on the download icon, but iceweasel still has to fetch the pdf for display - and render it, including a big photograph on page 1. If your iceweasel and/or graphics hardware is recalcitrant, then that can be slow. ISTR that last week's stocklist was very slow to render, now that I'm slipping into remembering mode. The new one's quite prompt.
