The speedy rendering of this page is probably a combination of 3 factors,
none of which are the image library (sorry, Pavlov ;-):
1) Mozilla can render the table before all the images have arrived,
whereas 4.x can't
2) Mozilla uses HTTP 1.1 and so does not have to make a separate request
for each image, but can get them all using the same connection
3) They'll all be in your ISPs cache after you've asked for them with 4.x
