Madness is like gravity. All it takes is a little... push.

Yes. Which is why it's good to keep it sparse. A little border work, a bit of fancy play with text graphics, some adequate file compression, and you've got maybe 20-30kb of bandwidth... much less than a full size image. And, If you do your file structure right it only downloads on the first hit.
