Ever noticed how some images load on a page faster, even when they're the same picture? Well, Let's see if that's true and consistent. So I'll have Imgur vs. Tinypic/Photobucket vs. Dropbox. Feel free to add your own hosting site.

Imgur:

Tinypic:

Dropbox:

Which loads slowest for you? Tinypic does for me.

Is it bad if they all load the same?

Or is it good?

Probably untraceable because of number of images being seen by the site rises and drops millisecond to millisecond.

Imgur and Dropbox loaded at same rate and Tinypic was real slow for me.

This, for some reason the hot key doesn't work for me though.

what hot key

I like Imgur better. Its a faster upload and its way too simple. With photobucket you have to make an account and stuff. With Imgur you just select it and then press upload.

All of them, I have to go to my task bar in the bottom right and right click and select to do it.
