(BUG) Image downloads and layout glitches

[Michael Allan]

I've temporarily unstaged the home page (no more embedded Votorola)
till we fix the underlying problem.  We were seeing initial render
times (from clean cache) of 10-15 s.  It's now down to 5 s.

That 5 s is partly the slow ASDL connection we're serving from.
Hopefully we can still improve it a little *and* put the stage back,
both.  So I'm working on it.
