The image can be much smaller. I used ImageAlpha[1] to reduce it to 
indexed-color and pngout[2] to recompress it, reducing its size by 45%.

This is a quick and easy fix; you could probably eliminate the 2400-pixel-wide 
image altogether using a CSS gradient, though you would need to evaluate 
browser support.

I'd be ok with switching it to a gradient that matched, since we're no longer 
trying to target ie7 or anything like that. Camino was kind of the only 
holdout, and the new beta works with the current design apparently.

Anyhow, thanks for the image, I've added it to the site and it should show up 
in about 15 minutes.
