I can hardly believe that rendering 20 tiny images takes more than 1.5 seconds.

What does suddenly change on your layout? The page is initially displayed with the "window" using all the available page width. When the pager frame is loaded, the window shrinks to make room for the pager. I don't see it with mozilla 1.2.1 here (fast connection), but with 1.0 on my ISDN line.
