without seeing the actual page we can't suggest anything specific, so could you post a link to the page?

the best way of making a page load faster is making your image sizes smaller- either change formats (never use .bmp, see which one- .gif or .jpg- is smaller), or use an online "image cruncher" which will remove certain colors from the image (for each color you use, you usually have several shades around the edges of the shape) to make it smaller.

also, avoid using a lot of client side scripting like JavaScript codes. one is usually fine, two is okay, but more than that is probably too much- you're probably also annoying visitors if you have a lot of useless scripts on your page, too ;-)

keep in mind that a frameset will also load more slowly, because you have to load multiple pages at the same time (the frameset page plus another page for each frame)
