Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with the loading of a flash movie on my homepage. I've created a test page and watching the resource tracker in firebug I see that the .swf file takes me on avg 5 seconds to load on this plain html page.
Then on my drupal home page I do the same load and I see that the same video takes me 9 seconds to load. Obviously I'm only counting from the time when the .swf starts to load until it's completion for both values.
Also, I should note that it is the exact same flash file running on the exact same server.
I'm assuming this is because these times aren't asynchronous, so it's taking longer because while I'm loading my drupal homepage there's also images, css, and javascript being shoved down the pipe at the same time. Is this a correct assumption? If not, why is it taking ~4-5 seconds longer to load the exact same file?

Thanks.
