The maximum size of the picture - background-image

I want to put on a web page background. I have a background of large 1600px x 1200px. This is a jpg picture. The image size is 320 kilobytes Can I put this big picture in the background? The site will be delayed? As the big picture should be up in the background?

I want to make a quick website. I can not cut image. I give it all, you can not use CSS to repeat

You can always increase compression (by reducing quality) of that .jpg file to greatly reduce its size.
