The only thing Google have said on it is that if your page takes an exceptionally long time to load it could experience a drop in rank, however this should not effect PR. You links are changing all the time and this is often the reason for increases and decreases in PR. Good to hear things are going well in the SERPS @ILLA,

That last time, it went back to PR5. But I recently added flash, noticed that slowed me down and then, voilla, PR4. I read that Matt Cutts was saying load speed could affect PR. Do you think that did it? Again, SERPS loooking good! Yes you were correct. That last time, it went back to PR5. But I recently added flash, noticed that slowed me down and then, voilla, PR4.

The chances are you are already sitting at 5 again but don't get too hung up on PageRank, it is only a small part of ranking higher, building on and off page relevance is far more important. @injury lawyer,

Pagerank changes almost daily and is only updated every 3 – 4 months on the toolbar. The chances are you are already sitting at 5 again but don’t get too hung up on PageRank, it is only a small part of ranking higher, building on and off page relevance is far more important.

I fixed it, but too late. No loss at all in position in SERPS. Do you think my theory that PR is sill really 5 is correct? But that did not fix in time for toolbar update?
