Does the use of heavy graphics/images (with img tag or in the CSS) effect a site's Google ranking?

Sometimes sites are heavy because of the images used or Flash or lots of JavaScript - making the loading times higher.

Does the loading time also effect a site's Google ranking?

I've mentioned Google, but the question applies to all search engines.

I would be more worried about the users. If load times are high than users would leave the site and we all know that search engines put a lot of weight behind user experience i.e. bounce rates, avg time spent etc so, it's very important to keep these in check!

Yes, but it's not a heavily weighted parameter.
