>>I wholeheartedly agree. My concern though is not with the graphics nor the text (I simply use that page to click on login and nothing else). However, my internet speed is not decent and yesterday when I visited first I got a black screen for seconds and then a strange gray background with nothing else. I was about to close thinking there is something wrong with UT and suddenly saw text and graphics started to show up. It is simply a pain to wait for a chance to click on 'login'.

>It was a major upgrade. It took me a total of 12 hours to install a new infrastructure, which came with several new options BTW. So, because of many new files that had to be read first, on the initial access, it is normal it took a little bit longer. This is the same thing for all Web sites on the Internet we first access.

Cetin has the most valid point though. If you are trying to draw in new business, a slow downloading of images and drawing of the page will hinder that faster than anything else. New or potentially new users will not wait and will simply cancel it or click the back button and never return.
