Yes - I did as well once I started out. After a while I started to worry about
the 56kr's that would have to wait 90 secounds for the whole page to load, but
then once realizing that my target market and freinds all had high speed, I
have added further content. However, I have become better at adding that
content so they balance out.

Hint: making of the gif's do you export/save each image first as a gif or a
'jpeg or better' then import them into the animated gif? If you use direct
png's or high resolution, ie 80+ on your jpeg, then your ani will be larger
than if you didn't export them into a smaller file size.

900kb gif is a lot. Sounds like a intro that maybe needs a "click here to
skip intro" button :) Again all depends on your targets for viewing.

Where do you get this? A GIF is a GIF. It's just bitmapped pixels. It
doesn't matter where the pixels come from.

900K is just too large for a page. Your generally accepted target weight is
40-45K total (including all images, all code, and all externally linked
files).
