Hi,
It would depend on which photos you are seeing problems with as whether this website/Forum has anything to do with it. Photos in the Photo Gallery are stored on the same computer as the Forum so we have some control or place to start looking at why it might be slow but otherwise there are only two or three images you would see through the Forum stored here so it unlikely to be the cause of your problem.
By far the majority of images you see on the Forum are coming from other computers/server like Photobucket, Flickr, Facebook etc. so the slow download are either issues with the size of the image, the server where they are coming from or your Internet connection with your ISP. There is not much we can help you with there.
You could go this this website and do a test of your connection,
www.speedtest.net/
and try at different times of the day or night and find out if it get slower in the evenings. Normally 4-11pm is the congested per 24 hours so you may find the speed test highlights a big drop in speed during this time.
If not then the problem is probably with where ever the photo is hosted and there is little you can do about it.
