6 seconds with scripting off, about 30 with it on. It isnt ewally hanging, because the entire page is showing up fast, but the little blue progress bar doesnt go away for 30 seconds.

I think its because during that 25 seconds, all three videos are downloading to the client. I get around that problem by not allowing the videos to start downloading until the user hit the play button. If the videos are coming from your site (which it looks like they are), you are going to burn needless bandwidth if people dont watch the movies.

I get around that with a player that shows a jpeg until the play button is hit, and I have an apache plgin that streams out the h264 while it plays instead of making it all download before it plays.

Try the top 2 or three videos here to see what I mean: http://www.teen-sex-tube.com/
