Hey, I was just wondering how they can use so many large, vibrant photos and keep load times down?

Well they have a lot of asynchronous loading going on so basically everything isn't being called at once, it's being called on the fly. For instance an swf loader, instead of pulling down a whole gallery of images and making the user wait, only pulls the first image and then once that's up and running calls for the next one just before fading to it.
