I like reading the other areas of GM site but many of the features are spoiled a bit by the images being freakishly huge and taking an age for the page to load when most of the time the images are pretty standard & serve to illustrate a player or course stock-shot and could & should be uploaded at a fraction of the file size currently used

Examples below but there are lots to choose from:

3500 x 2241 & 3.6mb view from TOC from the road at 17th

And this beauty of MAJ at the Spanish Open... (3rd one down if you can be bothered waiting for it... I could print this out at A3 poster size!)

5184 x 3456 & a whopping 5.6mb

Why do the images get uploaded at this unnecessary size?
