unfortunately, web developers dont give a damn about efficiency or they are too dumb to understand how to optimize a web page. one of the things that kills me is that they dont vector graphics AT ALL.

Most companies don't spend enough money on their websites. That's why you get the overloaded trash websites. Your right, it's a shame. Companies need to wake up and understand that their website is a huge factor in business.
New studies show that close to 64% of a persons first impression about a company comes from the companies website.
