Hey, I love the theme, but I was taken back by the download size. I'm curious why the images are so large (up to 345k for the header!). Has there been any effort to reduce these file sizes or does it just come with the territory? I'm afraid I'd be stuck with a slow loading page if I go with this theme.

This is a wonderful theme - but yes the image files could do with some optimising for filesize.

Attached is the header as an optimised PNG.

I actually forgot to optimize the files... I will be taking care of this shortly. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

The images have been optimzed and the CSS has been compressed. See version 5.1. The overall package has been reduced to 1/5 of the original size.

Thanks again for bringing this to my attention. :)
