Xavier,

1) there are kinds of start/end event you can dedicate to every object.
    just send a div to the map until the specific layer finished 
(end-event) loading.
see also: http://openlayers.org/pipermail/trac/2007-July/002265.html

2) It might be helpful, if you would talk a little bit more about WHAT 
kind of map-service is slowly (UMN, WMS, WFS, Text, .... ??)
;-)

Best regards, Till
