Hello nicoter,
Thanks for your complement, but the issue you have mentioned in this thread is not a kind of serious flaw, but we have missed right thumbnail size while fetching images for the EM Tabbed Posts widgets. As soon as we have noticed your review, we have fixed that complication in not more than a couple of minute of work and uploaded updated version of the theme.
For your kind consideration, while displaying all of the widgets and enabling all of the features given by the theme (https://demo.afthemes.com/elegant-magazine/), we received following results on some of the leading page speed testing platforms:

Analyzing all of the above reports, the theme is not so bulky as you have explained on the review. You may also have an idea, page speed of the site is also depends on server response time and how you setup the site.
Lastly, We, www.remarpro.com theme developer freely contributing our time and product to facilitate community users to get their desired modules in a better package. We really appreciate if we could get these kind of simple complication responses and expert suggestions on our support forums so that it could help on our regular updates but not with reviews having 1 star rating.
Thanks,
