It loaded for me in ~30 seconds on a 2011 Macbook Pro. I don't see what your loading experience has to do with anything. Different people have different connection speeds in different parts of the world (my connection speed varies within the same building depending on congestion, etc).

That said, all the fancy pictures do look very nice, and certainly draw you in like no other travel site that I've come across (when it eventually loads).

I was responding to anecdotal evidence with contrary anecdotal evidence. In the big scheme of things neither really means anything, but it would be pretty tedious if I had to test a statistically significant number of machines every time I altered a page layout.
