Hi TJ - the gold bar picture is 25 K bytes, the Starbucks picture is 142 K bytes.

Someone on a slow connection - say 14.4 k bits (note bits, not bytes) is looking at 2 minutes or more to download the pictures, and then only about 5 seconds for a page of text.

Many wireless connections have been choked down to low rates, because of capacity issues.
