Yup, they can be turned off. I just turned them off, and will leave it that way for a few days. I think that I prefer them on, as they give folks with lower bandwidth or slower computers some confirmation that their browser is doing something. The redirect pages come up immediately, while sometimes the more complex pages don't. Let me know how this goes for awhile, and I'll see if it makes sense to leave off.
Unfortunately it can't be done on a user by user basis, it's all or nothing for everybody...
