I have used 72 ppi for thumbnail images, and gif for Head banner. Site
summary in FP tells me that it will take 58 sec to download. How can this be?
Is it because I have customized my background color?
 
No, a background color is one of the LEAST things to cause a delay. My guess
is that your thumbnails are not optimized - there's more to saving an image
than the ppi. Thumbs should be 2-5k each, you'd have to check the filesize
to see what they are on your site.

Also if you have LOTS and LOTS of thumbnails, it may be smarter to use less
per page...

Your header may have a smaller filesize in jpg format - it's all about image
optimization.

It doesn't matter how many pixels per inch you're using as far as download
time is concerned. It matters what the file size is. The download time is
calculated by calculating the sum total of the size in bytes of the HTML
text and all images and other binaries that must be downloaded for the page.

Use the reports to find which files are taking up the time.
