Sorry for the large pic David. 
So, I see there are a few others that agree that it's either slow or down?
Changing the file image type that you save it too on creation makes a large (pun intended) difference to the file size, .gif images are generally much smaller than .jpg and .png image file types for the same image. For the likes of forums or other web sites the .gif image quality is more than adequate (256 colours).
For me on dial-up slow is a way of life and generally I see no difference 
You know, I sat there at the "Save" screen for several seconds thinking that I should change it to gif. But then I thought, it's mostly black but it has characters on it, and some degree of shading. I figured saving it as a jpg would actually be smaller. I guess I should have thought otherwise.
I know that sometimes when I save images that have a lot of detail as a gif, it's actually a lot larger than if I saved as jpg. I just guessed this one wrong this time.
Oh well, I'll blame it on the meds that I'm on because I'm sick!
