Hi Matelin...
Make sure that above all else, you "optimize" your image slices before saving them out.
And keep in mind that using a large image as an entire Website can easily be too graphic intense to be practical. This is somewhat subjective though in that your target audience will dictate a lot of the choices you make in designing a site.
Is it possible to see your site somewhere so i/we can checkout the file size?

That depends...
The more colors that you use, the larger your image will be.
For example, if you said "Only use 4 colors, your image would be small...and ugly ;-) If you said use 64,000 colors, your image would be huge and have a lot of detail.
When you Save for web, you have the ability to use as many colors as you like to balance size against quality.
If it is a graphic, you can save it as a .gif format. If it a photograph or an image that requires higher quality, save it as a .jpeg image.
When you click on the Optimized version of your file, it should have selected the minimum colors that are necessary for the quality you have selected. I usually set my quality at 60.
Hope I didn't confuse you [confused]
