Old is dead on.

I'm a web usability specialist and I've read a ton of research on website design and functionality. Splash pages are a bad idea at the best of times. This 5.5MB download right off the bat will be perceived by visitors as a barrier to achieving their goal. In this case, their goal would be to find out more about your clan.

My advice would be to remove it and add it as a link on you clan's main page. That way, visitors are in control and may view the intro on their own time.
