Have you considered that the ten second download time is
probably greater than the length of time that people will
spend *looking* at the thing? Then it starts to sound a little
unbalanced, don't you think?

And 35K... You could write 5,000 words in that space! I know a
picture is worth a thousand words, but I never heard of one
worth 5,000 words before! Think about it...
