There could be an option to make page content hidden by default, leaving just the headings. Then you click the heading to expand it, and the content is then rendered.

Another easy optimisation is having a mobile version of images that are already saved at a much smaller size, to reduce the amount of data to pull from the server as well as rendering time. This is simple stuff, but makes a big difference. Let's start off with: this thread is 2 years old. Things have changed considerably since then, between the mobile skin (Mercury, which was not around 2 years ago) and portable elements like Portable Infoboxes that are optimized in the mobile skin. Even on an older phone, using the mobile skin does exactly as you describe in the last paragraph. The behavior in the second paragraph is default for the community apps, but is being considered for the mobile skin.
