It wasn't that long ago that everyone split big images into many smaller ones to make the page appear to load faster because there were many connections to the server. There are features in Photoshop / ImageReady to do just that. Seems there is a pendulum that swings between many small images and few large images. Will RC change again when this pendulum swings back the other way ? Is it a better solution to load images in the background while the user is typing in the login info, so that the images are cached by the time the "login" button is pushed ? If RC is used a lot by the user, won't the images reside in the local browser cache 90% of the time anyway ? Besides first-time users, will this change really make a difference ?
