It's a light loader too. Only a little over 200kb. It is proof you don't have to have a fat page to have a sharp page. You really don't need 2 megabytes on your page.
A fat page is a slow page, every time. This happens all too often, people sacrifice performance for essentially, their own ego. They want what they think looks good, (And usually, it doesn't. It's just garish and gaudy - it's LuLu Roman with too much makeup on and sweaty and out of breath just from walking across the room) for self gratification not thinking at all about the glut they're loading on people's browsers and the bandwidth they're just wasting with every pageload.
The RC site nicely balances form and function with style and aplomb. It's more like Daisy Duke to the garish LuLu Romans of the web - it's svelte, moves fact and is easy on the eyes too!
