So much for Google being fast and lean.

The background image I get is 190KB. Not huge, but still the slight lag of fetching the image is noticeable compared to how fast Google used to load.

As for why Google is doing the backgrounds ... presumably to encourage more people to signup / sign into their Google account, since it appears login is required to change the background image.
