5MB website...

90% of this are useless super large images.

Also webpagetest.com counted 23 javascript requests.

The thumbnails are 1920×700px in case you use a 20K monitor.

Smooth for me on Win7/FF44b+IE11. Chrome 48 doesn't appear to like it much though.

Safari up-to-date on a MacBook Pro, so much chug. Must be a webkit thing.

Safari with a ton of other tabs on a 12" Retina MacBook, on battery, and this website works fine.

Works fine for me on Firefox too. It likely is a WebKit issue.

Absolutely sluggish on Mobile Safari, latest iPad mini.
