Many thanks, James, that is a ray of light in the darkness and makes
good sense and seems to be the case for my G5 Leopard. However, on my
wife's G3 iMac Tiger there is no such delay and it is the same ADSL
ethernet connection(not ADSL2+ here in Albany!).
From what Ronni says this may have been fixed in SL.

Hi Severin,
In these days of ADSL2+, a lot of people with broadband won't notice
the problem. I certainly didn't have any problem with the slideshow.
However, I set up a low-bandwidth simulator and can confirm what
happens. Basically, you have a 2.5 second delay between each frame,
but if the slideshow download is incomplete when the 2.5 second timer
is reached, then Safari waits 30 seconds before trying to play the
slideshow.
James.
