familiar with bookmarklets?  dunno where i found this one, but i use
it regularly to do quick checks (since IE6 doesn't support the web
developer image weight tool that MS released for IE5):

javascript:var%20fs=0;var%20f=1;var%20p='';for(i=0;i<document.ima
ges.length;i++){if(p.indexOf('('+document.images(i).src+')')<0)fs=fs+
parseInt(document.images(i).fileSize);p=p+'('+document.images(i).s
rc+')';};fs=fs+parseInt(document.fileSize);fs=fs+'';for(i=fs.length-
1;i>0;i--
){if(f/3==Math.ceil(f/3)){fs=fs.substring(0,%20i)+','+fs.substring(i,fs.le
ngth);}f++;}alert('This%20page%20weighs%20'+fs+'%20bytes.');

obviously you wanna paste that to one line...

you can find other keen tricks at (which will help explain what the
above code is for those who don't know):
