Like when you play a game you dont want to see loading screens, no different on a website.

on a second note, is it just me or is the site lagging?
Loading screens serve a valid purpose, they quickly indicate to the end user that action is occuring and for them to wait while the action is completed. Otherwise users (who are by design inherantly stupid when it comes to computers) tend to press buttons again and slow things down (or mess things up for themselves)

It's a bit like when you pay for something online with your credit card - the first thing most sites do it show some kind of payment in progress screen and say for you not to bash any buttons.

MMUK - I liked the loading screen personally.
