Don't think transparency slows it down too much, but edge-crossing of
fixed elements does.
Suggestion:
1) A branding toolbar at the top
...stay fixed, but stacked on top with 'z-index: 4'. Better to keep it
fully visible and all links working despite of scrolling, IMO.
2) A menu element on the left
...stay fixed, but those :hover effects sure are slow first time
and that menu doesn't look good, to me. I would switch to a
better-looking and better-acting text list, ASAP.
3) A content element in the center
...I'd move it slightly so it doesn't overlap the menu (or narrow the
menu for the same effect). Especially Gecko seems to "lag" a bit when
scrolling over several fixed elements.
4) A background image
...delete that image-container and set those images as fixed background
on body. Most speed to gain here, and it also looks better this way,
IMO. Besides; even IE6 can handle fixed background on body.
No stretching of background-images though.
