Not sure how many communities you have, but you might want to drop those from your friends list and just go to them directly when you feel like getting an update.
I find that the one thing that takes up the most time when reading my friends page is having to scroll back and forth because someone has posted a gigantic image that stretches the friends page to ungodsly dimensions.
So I've created a special filter: "Not (page size)". So when I get an evilly large page -- or if there's a community that's been awfully overactive and I don't want to read all the angstwanking -- I pull the offenders out of the "Not (page size)" filter, and read the friends page on that. If I feel like it, I go back and read the offending person/community/RSS feed by themselves later. It also works against broken HTML. And since I don't use this filter for posting in, I can just keep updating it (Semagic is my friend) for whoever the offenders are at the moment, and always keep chronic offenders out.
It's so cool that I think everyone should have one.
