Hi Daniel,
I would strongly recommend recreating all your bakground images wider
than 1px. Tiling tiny images slos some browsers to a crawl, as they
have to process each instance of the tiled image. With a vertical
gradient in a .png or .gif image you will find that an image 20px or
even 100px wide is not signifiantly larger. (If they are jpeg images
they shouldn't be!)
