1. The preloader animation is a little rough.

2. There's also a possible bug with the preloader when loading another
image. The preloader indicates a complete load (full polygon) but the
text says 1/2/3, and the indcator is updated some time later.

3. When I try to load an already loaded image, the preloader and the
image shows at the same time.

4. Usage of ARP for image loading is a little contrived. There are at
most 3 images for each product so there isn't much utilisation of
ARP's full capabilities. And why would a customer need to zoom in/out
on an image? I don't see the point.

5. Too much text. The side bar stretches for far too long when I
navigate to a single product.

No offence, but i'm simply giving comments on how the site can be improved.
