It's small, scaled, and off to the right of the introductory text. It's the primary content of the page, and yet exactly not where anyone would expect to see primary content.
My issue isn't load time, it's that the image, which is most important, is divorced from the text, while the comment field, which is not important, appears as the primary content below the introduction.
It does occupy space that would often be occupied by an ad, but in another context it occupies space that would be a sidebar or peripheral illustration to the primary text in a textbook. Informative but not the key item.

- ColinWright 9y agoI'm always surprised when people choose to read text in very, very long lines. I've found that 10 to 15 words per line speeds my reading a lot. But equally, I don't want to force that on other people, and I find it really annoying when people have web sites that are effectively narrow columns in a wide, blank (or filled with ads) screen. Do you always only read websites in a maximised window? Anyway, I'm moving the image to the other side. I can easily squash the text into a fixed width column - do you think that would be better?
