The complaint isn't that it's image-heavy, but javascript-heavy.

If I load an old/new reddit tab and go to 'about:performance', here's the comparison:

Old - Low impact - 22 MB memory usage - 4s to fully load on gigabit

New - Med impact - 70 MB memory usage - 10s to fully load on gigabit

Fully agreed, the performance is atrocious.

But a lot of other critics feel like the person haven't tried setting the view to "classic" or "compact".
