    I decided to turn on my slider after not using it when initially installed the theme. Can anyone tell me what might be going on?

    The best way to describe it is for you to see for yourselves:

    The first thing to do is change the image in the slider to be only the size of the slider image settings. Your image is a massive 2592*1728 pixels and 2.27 MB. The image need only be 600*400 pixels, which will be only about 50KB -- 1/45,400 the original size. The slider is needlessly working to dynamically shrink this huge image to one quarter the dimensions. Your page will also load much faster with the smaller image.

    Your slider should also be set to display only one image. Otherwise, since you are using the slider to display only this one small image (that is also never displayed at a higher resolution until you open it from the attachment page) you might consider removing the slider altogether and using simple HTML in a text widget to display the 600*400 image, although this would need some CSS tweaks.
