You image file sizes all seem to be hovering above 200kb. See if you can knock their weight down a bit without mussing with the visual quality. Sometimes you can split that in half without noticing a difference - other times they shit themselves during optimization.

The weight will vary from list to list, as all things do. I know some have set a cap of 80k per image. I'm not sure of how many people really look that closely at it though. I don't typically check it, but they loaded noticeably slow. I don't spend much time concering myself about dial-up users, though we are supposed to. I have an acknowledged jealous hatred towards anyone who can afford to live out in less rural areas where broadband isn't available. If I'm forced to live in this little city - fuck those who don't!

oh, i have heard that dirty undies (or dirty undeas in my case) is a great place. i promise i stick my nose in, the next time i pass by.

but you are right. one should think about the dial up's.
we got 16Mbit here a couple of month ago and that spoils you faster then you can say "undeas"
