Should also have said - 24" iMac, 2.4 GHz Core2 Duo running Leopard 10.5.8
Hi Severin, I don't think it is a bandwidth problem, it definitely seems to be a Safari problem - I tried just loading the gif directly: <http://www.paperartzi.org.au/Resources/worksshow09.gif> In firefox (ver 3.5.2) the animation starts almost immediately In Safari (ver 4.0.3) the first image loads instantly but it then takes around 55 to 60 secs for the animation (image 2) to start - then the remaining images cycle without any delay (well just with the consistent cycle of around 2 secs/image). So, from what Ronni says, it sounds like anyone who has NOT upgraded to SL will see this delay. (FWIW I am on internode 1500 ADSL and the iView bandwidth tester consistently shows my connection being able to stream at around 1400 kbps - so I don't think that is an issue for a 1.3MB gif) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
