A 300,000+ Byte Image?

Jan 2010, I received a Twitter follow notice from this site (click the image to go to the site.) With 27536 followers, 4416 tweets, and following 27476 people, I figured that the Chris Husong account isn't following me because they are really interested in having a conversation with me! But, I went to the site to check if there would be any benefit for me to follow the account.

The benefit was that the top image loaded very slowly. So, I right clicked on it and WOW, the image above is 302,795 bytes from the browser properties. My Dreamweaver shows it at 296K. Considering the quality of the design, I was surprised! And, considering that Google may be adding a page load criteria to their algorithm, it might be something that Chris Husong should reconsider!
