Author Very Slow Loading SWFs -- My fault?

I am relatively new to Flash design. I have fairly small SWF files that I load
in my personal site (two or three, all less than 4KB in size).

When arriving to the site for the first time (before site gets cached I
guess?) the load time is ridiculous -- could take a minute or two just to load
the Flash content. The browser (IE and/or Netscape) appear to be frozen during
this time... then after a minute or so has passed, the content just appears and
everything is fine.

The webhost I use is very quick for download and upload, at least fast enough
that 4KB should take a blink of an eye. Could it be something related to their
servers?

Is there a special way to load the content into the HTML that I don't know
about? This slowness happens everywhere, I've seen it on 5-10 different
computers in different locations.

This is the site:

Thanks so much for any guidance. Like I said, I'm relatively new to this and
might be missing something obvious.

<OBJECT WIDTH="500" HEIGHT="400">
<PARAM NAME="MOVIE" VALUE="test.swf">
<EMBED SRC="test.swf" WIDTH="500" HEIGHT="400">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

Lot of info missing there that might account for the delay. Better use
publish options from within flash and copy paste the right but foremost
complete code where it belongs.
