Hi Metric,
First of all you should not post your URL in the forum - it is against the TOS.

The problem with your photos is that the file sizes are way too large.

Your tiny thumbnails are over 40,000 KB. in size and the loading photo was 245,684 KB.

Get yourself some good image compression software and bring these photos done to a usable size.

I have DSL / FireFox and it took forever for them to load.

I think the thing you don't understand is that resizing your "img" by draging it's rectangle in a WYSIWYG does not get you a smaller image. It simply changes the dimensions it's displayed in.
