Since most of Ikariam’s servers are hosted in Deutschland, foreign users may feel slow transfer rate or cannot load complete images. This script let you load Ikariam UI images from Google App Engine instead of loading them from Ikariam’s servers. Google’s servers are hopefully placed nearer you than Ikariam’s servers, images are delivered via fewer hops, resulting in lower latency and increased delivery speed.
I’m not pretty sure this will improve the loading speed, please try it yourself.
