cnn.com has switch to very low graphics, in a very good response to the congestion they have to be experiencing.
they also have a total of like one or two photos up, so http caching should work well for ISPs whose customers are trying to reach them. i'm glad someone over at cnn acted quickly -- those high K pages were painfully slow to load. anyone who's been putting it off really ought to consider setting up a web cache -- it's really the only way that dialup customers can get to news sites at times like this. s.

CNN is (supposedly) Akamaizing most of their images & possibly their whole site. Things should get better for you if you have Akamai servers on-net. (And even if you do not.)
