Not really.
The difference between a 200x390 .png with 15 colours (28KB) and a 200x390 .png with 80567 colours (32KB) is 4KB.
Same dimensions and colour count but in .gif format is (24KB) and (40KB) respectively.
Either way each image should take about 1 second to download on a basic broadband/cable/dsl connection. On dial-up the difference would be 1-2 seconds at the most.
And this is overstating the difference because I screenshotted the palette and resized it for the colour-loaded image, whereas the other image is mostly white.
Either way, format has more of an effect on file size than colour count does.
