Need a consultation - Slow initial page display

[Al Mostfast]

I've been chasing down a performance problem on this site for a few weeks and need a quick consultation to see if there is something I'm missing.

Symptom is slow load time in the browser (1.5 - 3 seconds of wait time) then the content loads fairly quickly.

Is the slow initial load have to do with the order the resources are being called? or is just the size of the images and the speed with which they are being delivered?

Any insight is greatly appreciated!
