I also have large images on my site, but I first have the viewer click on a
thumbnail, and this way he is prepared to wait for the image to download.
Don't put large images on your home page or on the pages that introduce new
projects. If the visitor wants to see the large image, he can click on the
thumbnail. It's his or her choice. Otherwise, if all your pages take a long
time to load, you will lose people.
