Well, I just disabled Shadowbox on my drupal site after I finally figured out what was causing my 12second - 16second load times. I hadn't even used the module yet, I only had it enabled and it was causing this degradation to my website.

disabling shadowbox brought my site loadtimes down from 12-16s to 3-4s I used YSlow (a firefox plugin) to finger shadowbox as the source of my problem.

The Shadowbox module has the ability to switch off JS files by turning off support for specific types of media under the Supported Media options in the settings. You should also use JS aggregation and CSS aggregation so all the CSS and JS files are merged and compressed into a single file (one for CSS and one for JS).

The sizes of the JS and CSS for this and other lightbox type modules are detailed in the Comparison of Lightbox type modules.
