Hi,

Unless I'm mistaken, the jpgs Arnd was referring to are associated with the 
search script and not OL. They're pulled into the table. I'm just using the 
open street map WMS, which still doesn't really explain the lag in the 
application loading. I don't have tons of experience with this, but is there a 
method to call the script or preload this so the map is loaded into memory when 
the user hits the webgis page?
