In IE you may enable the "show image download placeholders" option. What this will do is quickly load the ascii (text and formatting) content of a page and put empty boxes in place of the images. Then, as images are downloaded, the boxes are filled in with the images. So, no more waiting on images you don't care to see You can also right click in the box placeholder of an image and select "show picture" if you are interested more in one specific image.

Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Multimedia -> show image download placeholders

Now, quit yer bitc#ing and check out my repetitive sig image

P.S. You can also opt completely out of showing pictures w/the show pictures option.
