Well, considering 97% percent of the page load is images (average size: 400 kB), and the page contains slides that explain and complement the article... yeah, I think it does!
The page renders really laggy for me. Seems like it'd benefit from dynamically loading in the images, or at least user more compression on the images. Also, the images have been shrunken to fit the page. They should just be that smaller size to begin with; you could probably get the page down to 8MB with minimal loss.
