Gravatar really slowed down the site and didn’t solve any purpose.

Which briefcase-bearing, suit-slinging git is interested in avatars anyway?" How about prototype.js, a huge 50KB javascript file that leaves you with a blank page for most of the load time because it's stuck in the header part of the HTML? Prototype.js is quickly becoming a standard and will be integrated with WordPress very soon, according to Alex King. I'd rather have an image on my page take a long time to load than scare off my visitors with a blank page. Now if you're going to argue that 50KB is hardly worth anything with the speed of our internet connections these days, then should Gravatar images matter either?

I'd have to agree that a fast-loading, error-free blog is much better than cute little pics.
