Why are they so big? 25k was what "du -sk" showed me. If there are many small files in the directories "du -sk" reports quite more space than the files are together needed. Each of them is not that big: 55 bottom.gif 58 bottom_left.gif 57 bottom_right.gif 108 button_1.gif 108 button_2.gif 89 button_3.gif 110 button_4.gif 73 button_5.gif 88 button_6.gif 76 deco_definitions.inc 57 left.gif 51 middle.gif 57 right.gif 73 title.gif 55 top.gif 57 top_left.gif 58 top_right.gif 71 transparent.gif > At work (fastest possible connection, I work for an internet > provider), 75% of the time (2 to 2.5 seconds) is used to load and > display the icons in the pager. Is there a big penalty for > loading 20 small files? What do you mean by penalty in this context? The pager is implemented as a set of html-tables. The many pictures need some time to load and some time is needed to render the table. I guess with your internet connection download times can be neglected. Say you have got 10Mbit/s connection (I guess you have much more) 200 kbyte take less than 0.2 s to load (neglecting the times needed for request, request delay, processing and response delay). Most time will be needed for rendering the site. You may check this by loading the site from a locally installed web server. > > Since they are loaded due style sheet > > definition they should be loaded at last after the > > background pic has been loaded. > > By the way, it might be good to load the outline of the > pager earlier so that the layout does not suddenly change > later. I don't get that. What does suddenly change on your layout?
