At Officesnapshots.com I think they are using fancybox (check the closing button). But the pictures load damn fast. Is it really fancybox or another plugin? If it is fancyboxn how can I archieve the same speed as them?

The images' loading speed has usually nothing to do with the plugin used: The process is a simple image.src='filename.jpg' in any case, and the browser does the loading.
I suspect the seemingly faster loading is down to the large window closing and re-opening during the loading process.
They also may have faster servers to deliver the images.

OfficeSnapshots.com is actually using a plug-in called Highslide JS. I'd say start with experimenting with that.

The images are preloaded as soon as you visit the homepage - so when you move between slides the image is already in cache.
It seems the plugin handles selecting images from folder or flickr, and the ajaxCache property will precache these images.
Looks like a nice plug-in - commercial licence though ...

Hi, I run officesnapshots.com and we do use Highslide from highslide.com. We implement it into the website using the wordpress plugin Highslide JS. There are different licenses, and for personal website I believe it is free.
