A high resolution image suitable for a big desktop screen is overhead on a mobile screen. The mobile device has to download the big image and then to scale it down to fit on the smaller screen. With responsive images the server offers the image in several sizes and the client browser selects the one that’s closest in size. See the overview at the WordPress APIs handbook: Responsive Images.
