You should point this issue to the creator of the theme.

I did! See the tag (ground-floor). I created this topic from the Ground Floor theme page.

Mods please delete this thread. I don’t know why it doesn’t appear at the http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ground-floor page. I went to that page, and clicked on “Got something to say? Need help? Write a new topic.” This automatically added the ground-floor tag. So why doesn’t this post appear on the http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ground-floor page, under the “See what others are saying…” section?
The best feedback for a theme is almost always with the Theme author; at least in my case I much prefer to have end-users send their issues directly to myself or post a comment on the appropriate page at http://buynowshop.com as I may not always notice these posts in a timely fashion.
… or, drop me a note with a link to the post in these forums is also very helpful for others to benefit from.
As it is, I will add this issue to the Theme’s TO-DO list as I do recognize the background image is very large and can be slow loading in many situations.
PS: A new version (1.7.1) of the Ground Floor Theme, using a much smaller background image, has been submitted to the WordPress Theme Review Team.
I would expect this should sort out the OP issues brought forward. Thank you!
