Even if we put aside for the moment the fact that you just aren't going to persuade enough people to do this (and so therefore should seek a solution that doesnt require them to do anything), it doesn't really have a significant effect when browsing LJ. Especially considering that most of us are on broadband today anyway (and if you're not then the page isnt going to jump about that much as it takes so damn long for the images to load anyway).
A more reasonable argument I have heard is people asking that you use the LJ-cut feature if you are going to put images on your blog so that people reading their friends pages dont have to loads up huge amounts of gfx (I think this is also a bit silly in the days of broadband).
