[LINK] www.sbs.com.au broken?

[Ash Nallawalla]

The home page loads well in Firefox/Win7 but the East West show page is too
slow to load on account of the image being 488kB. It took three visits to
the page for the detail to show up below i.e. "Heist Scene". Obviously fails
Yslow with a 39 score.

I think we'll see more of these than less.  More work for SEOs, so not
complaining.
