I would try to understand why they take some time to load. Are you using CGI mode? (Don't.) Are you not-precaching as much as you should? Are you using metatiles? Are you not using metatiles? etc. Also, some description of 'some time' -- hundreds of milliseconds, seconds, dozens of seconds -- would probably also be appropriate. > What tile sizes do you use? 256x256.
