so the question in how to that without loading the whole layout each time you change the "content"...people with low speed conections will suffer if they have to wait for the graphics to load over and over again

No, no, you misunderstand the function of HTTP and the browser !
Users will only have to wait for graphics to load the FIRST TIME they visit your site. The browser - all of them - will CACHE all the images to the user's machine. The only images that will have to be loaded from then on are those that are different/new. If the users forces a re-load from the server (ctrl-reload) or hits refresh, then they might have to wait a few seconds for the updated/new images to d/l. This is what CACHING is all about - so you DON"T have to constantly re-download images each time you go to the same page.
The browser DOES NOT call the page/images from the server every time you hit a page unless you've cleared your CACHE/temp internet files or deliberately forced a re-load of the page.
