The following list gives the files on index.php and its size:

You see the gifs are quite small. The default index.php is
about 25 kB which is caused by the table/cell definitions
for the window decoration.
You can also see that the file index_plain.php is 5 times
smaller than the default layout index.php.

I have changed the bg image to grey color and quality 0.35
which reduced the image size to 18660 bytes.

Mozilla should use your internet connection quite efficiently.

That was one reason why I made the plain layout (or theme
from now :). Browsing through the man pages or the faq is
much more efficient using the plain theme.
Maybe we need to adapt the default theme a bit and reduce
its size. But I think we need to exchange the pager
navigation with a simpler menu navigation. When I got the
new modular theme concept ready - hopefully tonight or
tommorow - I am going to make (a) new theme(s). Maybe we use a
simpler one for default.
