page loading take more time

Question

I have an aspx page with a datagrid which I am using to display a list of thumbnails. The thumbnails are sitting on my harddrive and the links to them are stored in an Access database. I have placed an 'Img' tag in a template column in the datagrid and as the grid loads the 'src' property of the image is filled from the database. The page contain more than 300 images. Everything is fine but when I try to run the page on a remote computer,it is so slow. Page loading take more time. how to speed up the page loading.
