mpcox,
When you load too much images in a single ASP page, it will take longer time for the web server to handle it.
The best method to handle this issue is moving the files to other folder. If you want to keep those many files in the same folder, you need to modify browse_Image.asp directly and remove a few fields. For example, you can remove the size field. You will lost some information, however it will speed up the loading time.
Another solution is you can create a custom dialog and put your own asp gallery page inside it.
