I've encountered a minor irritation caused by a stupid web
authoring
mistake. The RBWM Recycling page at
http://www.rbwm.gov.uk/web/wm_recycling.htm contains two images which
are delivered at 2440 x 1479 px and displayed at 122 x 89 px - the
files are 340 times the size they need to be!
LOL. I used to be sent word files like that. Tens of pages in a document
with the same massive corporate logo image on every page. "We must" I was
told.
I have reported this to
the council but I won't hold my breath for a correction.
Seems okay two days later, Monday.
The problem is that as soon as these images hove into view the page
becomes incredibly slow and clunky to move around. I would hazard a
guess that NS is continually struggling to resize the images as it
tries to move them around. Would it be possible to resize the images
once when they are downloaded and then hold them at the required
display size?
I tend to agree but what if the page is zoomed?
