It’s a great idea and I definitely condone it, but my poor i3 laptop dies in a ball of fire. If I view this page in the morning with my samsung galaxy tab, I can defrost my car windshield from 4 inches away almost instantly.
But seriously, It’s very cool. It’s definitely a step in the right direction - showing the internet what jmonkey can do.

Eheh 
too many hd images… we should do serverside resize or find a way to show less images on less powerful devices.
Perhaps generate a thumbnail for every image and display only the first frame of a gif (unless enlarged). I bet those tank the performance a lot.
Heh, this is why I originally suggested a basic “send monthly images to an imgur gallery” script. Then all optimization woes are imgur’s problem (and most likely they’re solved problems).
But not nearly as fun to make though 
p.s. I agree with @pspeed, I don’t mind the occasional meme mixed in!
Similar with nexus 10. But you put it much more poetically… 
I made some improvements, and i disabled the blurred background for all mobile devices and for computers that seem they can’t afford it.
It should work a bit better now.
I’m also working on the code for the serverside scaling of big images that should solve the rest of performance issues.
And i made the layout more responsive, there is still room for improvement, though.
