Slow Question screen updates

While buying and selling on the US markets questions today, I encountered excruciating delays. If anyone else has these two issues, please say so.

1. The biggest slowdown is around the drawing of the small graphs at the top left of the page, particularly in multiple-choice questions with more than 3 choices. These Flash drawings start to crawl when there's too many lines to draw.

Personally, I only need them occasionally and would LOVE to be able to disable them (provided the odds are still displayed in text). I think this might not only be of benefit to the users, but would take a huge load off the server, especially during in-play markets, when people are refreshing their screens over and over. (Not every refresh demands a redrawn graph). Perhaps a scheme like we currently have for the display or not of news items? Or a button to request a graph draw in place?

2. When I make a prediction, I get sent back to the screen from which I came. Makes sense. I might want to see how I affected the market, or wager again. But when I cash-in, I end up in the middle of what is, in my case at least, an enormous list of my previous cash-ins. I don't want to be there (not to mention how increasingly slow that page is to load). I want to be back in the page from which I pressed the cash-in button (ie the question page or my open predictions page). Again, a huge potential savings in time and effort for me, and in load for the server.
