The size of an image depends a lot on how it
was created.  Either gifs or jpegs can be small
or large.

Yes, it matters how big the image is when adding it
to a web page - large images can make the loading
time much longer, and even crash older browsers.
I would suggest checking the file size of the images
you want to put on your site and make sure that they're
not too big.

There's an interesting article on graphics at the
Bandwidth Conservation Society pages:

HTH!
