I concur. I have a fast connection, but the download times are
extremely slow for the file sizes. Marko's files are quite small, but
the page and image loads are extremely sluggish.
As an additional point, I would like to add my voice to those who
find the pictures too small and too dark. The histograms are way off
to the left, and don't make good use of the usual monitor's
capabilities. It is discouraging, and made me give up quickly. Too
slow, too small, too dark and Flash. Not something I go back to.
My main browser is Chimera on Mac OS X 10.2.4. I also tried it on
Safari, and on IE 5.2 for OSX. On IE it is excruciatingly slow; on
Chimera it is a lot faster and on Safari slightly faster still, but
still too slow. The 30Kb images load slower than 1Mb images from
other sites.
