Frank,
It is roughly the same speed on 56k. I suspect this is because on 56k, most time is spent downloading. On broadband, the downloads are so fast that the connection process becomes a much higher percentage of the total time taken. Therefore reconnecting on every file has a much greater effect on broadband than for 56k users.
Therefore when I fix this (which I'm hoping will be a 10 minute job, but I'm not too hot on the HTTP protocol), it should speed up drastically for broadband users, although dialup users will not experience as much improvement.
