It's really slow here too (FF3 with a regular 1mbps ADSL connection).

I find that delay really annoying too and I agree it looks like nothing is
going on there, because FF don't show any progress, so I agree too that
if the slowness can't be fixed, a client-side progress or a simple
synchronous load would be better than nothing.
