 * Regarding the Nextgen Gallery “Slideshow” (ie the sidebar widget):
 * 1. When a user navigates to a page containing a slideshow, does the number of
   images in the gallery for that slideshow slow down the loading of the page? In
   other words, if the page has a slideshow gallery containing 40 images, will it
   load more slowly than one with 3 images?
 * 2. If this behavior has changed in recent versions (since 1.9.3) does anyone 
   know when it changed?
