I typically refrain from commenting on how heavy a page is because we're here for the content, not web design critiques. That said, page load for the "As a single page" version of the article generates 349 requests (prior to the ad beacon/analytics calls that are made periodically after loading the page). Those 349 requests pull down >11,000KB in >52 seconds. That's excessive to the tune of an order of magnitude (and really for the page load time, probably 2 orders of magnitude).
