To be honest, the slow down was secondary to the amount of space the image takes up on a page.
Here at work, my computer is stuck at 600x800 resolution and I'm not allowed to change it even though the video card and monitor both support higher resolutions. One tall image can easily take up the full screen at any given time.
I should offer my service to make banners for people. I love cranking out graphics (I just can't draw) with animations (see my avatar) or just combinations of other graphics.
If the artwork is really something special to look at, I don't mind waiting for the image to load (it takes me about 15 seconds per screen shot with my dial up connection at home... if 15 seconds doesn't sound like much, just sit there and watch the second hand on your clock for 15 seconds... you'll get the idea).
I've turned off other peoples images for the time being because it sounds like I'm the only one who really cares about this issue. I don't want to drag everyone else down for something that I'm the only person who cares about it.
