Significant issues with this site
The pages come up really slowly, most likely due to images that
are not compressed enough. For example, the sample page with
a photo of a mushroom has a 4x3 inch photo that is 262kb -
this could have been significantly more compressed without that
much image degradation. The splash page comes up very slowly,
with a nearly 200Kb image. There are instances where a small
banner image is nearly 100kb but could easily be 10kb.

I am running Firefox on MacOs and the tooltips seem to popup
randomly, making me wonder if they only tested their DHTML on
IE/Windoze.
