You can lower the quality during the save/export process.
Why are you using such a program to create a website?

A lot of people use that process to create web sites. I use photoshop but the process of slicing is the same though.

I'm not surehow image ready handlesthings, but here is something to look for, blank areas (images that are one solid color).
For example, if you have three areas that are say 200x75 pixels, all just one solid color, then the program may have given you three images of that size, when in fact you could just use a single 1x1 pixel image displayed at the final size for all three image areas.

What file format and compression are you using?

There is nothing wrong with imageready for slicing simple sites.
If you can do a little hand coding to clean things up afterward all the better.
To reduce size you can replace some solid color images with background color as was mentioned earlier.

3 seconds isn't even that bad a loading time surely is it?

I would have to agree DaveyBoy.
3 seconds is not a bad load time for a page.
