I like the clean lines with the more organic wood background. Not sure about the header image. I've been seeing the skyline with sun rays images for a while now and they are already starting to look tired. Also it makes me think you are in NY. Then again, you can always change it when you tire of it. And hope your Thanksgiving was fab. Love the new color combo and the font for the title.

So hopefully the tiny fraction of readers that may experience slow loading times will just read the content without regard to what the background looks like. Also, I use several different behind the scenes bits of code that help speed up the load time, especially for repeat visitors. The bottom line though, is that I can't please everyone. The blog needs an update, if that alienates .013% of visitors, then I'm sorry to see them go, but pleasing them could very well be turning off a larger number of visitors.

You can guess which one was mine, I mentioned the increased loading time caused by the fancy background. What happens is, those on slow servers see a dark, plain background for a lengthy time as it loads, decide your blog is hard to read and fail to wait for the pretty parts to come up, as evidenced by my friends who mention certain blogs they didn't like. Turned out, they never waited for the attractive blog to load. They jumped to the conclusion that what they saw first was the entire blog and left.
