faster image loading

Hello all, as this appears to be the most active html help community, I have decided to post here.
I recently redesigned the website for the stable that I ride at. (The old one was pretty dated.) It's fairly basic since I don't know many fancy tricks, but I do have a problem.
I was trying to get the look of frames on the page without using frames, since I've been told those are pretty outdated. So, I just stuck in a background images with the bars. Trouble is, I had to make the background image huge, so that when you scroll to the bottom, you don't encounter the end of the image. Likewise, in case the screen resolution settings are different, I also created extra space on the side. So, it's a pretty big image.
My only question is: is there a better way to achieve this look, or a way to make the background image load faster without losing the quality of the image?
Thanks very much for your time.
