Agreed, the project looks neat! I didn't have issues with the scrolling, but the page took about a minute to load and render on my 100Mbps connection. Chrome pulled down around 32MB of data to load the page, so no wonder.

At some point, a slick experience becomes a hindrance when it comes at the cost of load time, and this page blew past that point and then some.

The main culprit looks to be high-res PNGs with transparent backgrounds, which are ~2MB each. If you can get away with lightly compressed JPEGs with the same background colour as the page, you'd shave the majority of this baggage off. Obviously it won't look quite as good, but it's all about balance :) Just my two cents.
