Often I have to wait for a gif to play it's animation fully once before it starts running smoothly. And usually it takes ages. I don't know why gifs run so slowly on my computer or whether that's just how gifs roll. My 15Mb/s internet and 2.2Ghz comp should be able to handle them.
On topic, I don't think I've ever experienced much page slowdown on vgc due to people's sigs. I used to find all the flashy animations a bit distracting, but it's not as bad as it used to be. I prefer when people keep them simple and don't use massive sigs that are 300% bigger than their small single line comment.
