Q2009 Is there any way I can speed up graphic download on my pages?

No. Other than making the graphic files smaller this is not possible, BUT.. by adding the HEIGHT, WIDTH and ALT attributes to the IMG tag, you can load your page text before the graphics load. This allows the viewer to start reading while the graphics load. Example tag:

<IMG SRC="graphic.gif" HEIGHT="2xx" WIDTH="3xx" ALT="alternate text">
