Forgot to mention that I am also primarily seeing this effect when doing a reload in Firefox and overriding the cache (cmd + shift + R), but am also seeing it when viewing the site for the first time in Safari as well. It actually looks like it happens on the Galleria demo site too (http://devkick.com/lab/galleria/demo_01.htm)... is this just the way it has to work, or has anyone found a way around it?
