User Control Panel slow to load

I have wondered this for a while how come the User Control Panel section seems to loads painfully slow compared to the rest of the forum ?

Mine loads at the same speed as other pages do, quicker if anything due to the minimal content.

Seems to be its slowest just after i change my avatars it takes a while to load the new avatar preview pic an takes ages to load the little icons on the menu bar.

Stop changing your avatar then

Perhaps the colour change has slowed you down, Wazo. With your sig, that's a whole lot of yellow there. Like wading through honey

Far to many Dionne pics he wants to upload - it probably slows down the system for him .....
