Really 100 Mbps? Isn't that rather the speed of the network card of your PC?
Usually DSL connections are around 4-8 Mbps, up to 20-30 for some faster services.
Anyway this is the download speed, the upload speed is usually much more limited.
But this is not the reason why small images take time to load.
It is just that Imageshack is from times to times overloaded, there is nothing that we can do about that.
As I said previously, using the imageshack toolbar makes it look like really less slow, as you do not have to go to the home page of the site. I do not know for IE, but in Firefox I just drag & drop the jpeg files to the text area of the comment page of imcdb, it sends the images, and after few seconds it adds the [img] tags there, then I just have to replace linebreaks by spaces.
While it sends the pictures, if it takes more than few seconds, I continue to add the other cars of the movie in another tab/window.
