Actually, slow loading has never been an issue with them, so we stuck with that format. It's a pretty unique way that it is done in that type of business and the "10 second" rule doesnt apply as this is the only place to get the info. The pix cant be reduced much farther because detail is key in this type of thing and black and white would never fly.

I think slow is ok if the person can see the thing coming. Whereas the pdf just sort of sat there saying it was downloading but just looking like a blank page. When I was researching internet marketing they had a rule of thumb that the average person won't wait more than 12 seconds for a site before they get bored and leave. This site is a little different -- it looks as though it might be of great interest to someone who was interested in flyfishing..... but still, four minutes clearly won't do. But you knew that. The one I looked at is 47k... I can see that you might want that level of detail but hmm hmm what about black and white?
