How to reduce network load

All of these images are in the MS slideshow. I can try to reduce their size, but they’re already sized to display in the slideshow 515×335, which is not a large size. Or should I reduce it furtherr? It shouldn’t matter what the original size of the image is in terms of how long it takes to display, right? I also have my images optimized.

Does the number of images in the slideshow impact display speed? It is a large slideshow, many images.

I have 140 images in the slide show on my home page. Is there any way I can reduce the server load short of removing slides? If I do remove slides, how many would be a reasonable number to retain, that wouldn’t cause enormous server load?

Is there a way to break the slides up into different slideshows displaying in the same location on the home page? That doesn’t seem likely. But I’m trying to figure out a way around this.

@arreane: I was suggesting having 2 separate slideshows on the same page, but not loading at the same time. One slideshow would load and cycle through all its images and then the second would load and cycle through all its images. That would mean half the load over 2 slideshows instead of the full load over 1 slideshow.
