What may be slowing things down is the number of files the browser needs to download, which is a minimum of 9 with 8 frames. And that doesn't include any image files. Most browsers limit themselves to certain number of connections. IE for Mac defaults to 4 max connections and can be set as high as 8. So with 9 files to download the browser won't even request the 9th file until at least one of the first 8 is completely downloaded. And then you have the overhead in the browser parsing all those files for display.
I don't know what your web page looks like, but perhaps Javascript, CSS and/or DHTML could reduce the number of frames being used.

Can this cause the pages to load slowly? Can a page have the session
file write locked and make other pages wait?
