Pictures require more data than text, so the "pipe" needed to squeeze the data through needs to be bigger, else the data (water) will come out slower. Hook more people up to the same pipe, demanding more data (water), and everyone only gets a trickle.
That's why on a dial-up (tiny pipe connected to the net) text comes through much quicker than pictures, and video takes even longer.
Actually, it may be quicker posting an image that's on the same server.
I'm not an expert, but I think that's an accurate analogy... I may be wrong.
