iWeb still creates bloated websites!!!

Why does iWeb still create bloated websites. For example iWeb would take up 8MB of website space, while if I do the same site in Rapidweaver it takes up 1MB. This makes for much faster loading when viewing sites online! Come on Apple!! Cut the crud and make website publishing more efficient !!!
Seems to fix a specific compatibility issue with Firefox 3.

With the release of Firefox 3, MobileMe/.mac photo albums created using iWeb wouldn't display properly when viewed with Firefox. After installing this update, and selecting the "Publish All to MobileMe" option, photo album functionality under Firefox 3 seems to be restored.
Note: I tried republishing all under version 2.0.3, and the Firefox 3 compatibility issue still persisted, therefore I am assuming restored album functionality under Firefox 3 was one of the problems that version 2.0.4 addressed.
Overall I've been very pleased with iWeb, though I would like to see a built in flash media player. I realize one can embed a YouTube video, but I was thinking more along the lines of self-contained player that is integrated with the application, and stores the media on one's iDisk as opposed to having to upload it to YouTube. I'm sure there are ways to accomplish this, but I'd like to see it implemented on a more user-friendly level. My other complaint is that the "Font" window is separate from the "Inspector" window. It's annoying to chose a font in one window yet adjust the font alignment and spacing in another. It can clutter the desktop very quickly, especially if one is using a smaller screen. In future releases I'd like to see these merged into just one "Inspector" window. Despite my minor quibbles, this is a very intuitive application, that generally meets or exceeds my needs.

After coming from Golive which I found to be very annoying and unreliable bloatware the Mac product is far easier to use quickly. Biggest problem is not being able to handle multiple individual sites, for instance an internal and another external or two. When you save or "publish" you have to save everything. There are apps written to get around this but why did Apple software do this? I think Apple need to rethink there whole interface approach on all of their software suites.
Biggest annoyance is the constant attempts to sell or link to .Mac. No no no. I want nothing to do with .Mac. There should be a checkbox: "remove all references to .Mac".
