Actually the sprites aren't an issue in TG1 or TG2. IMHO the issue is css and js compression/combination. Zope does this quite nicely, but AFAIK TW in combination with TG does not (haven't checked recently). That would be a major point on my wishlist. At least if TW could combine and compress js/css would already help a lot. Having some kind of plugin/entry point to TG that allows putting all those resources together would be even better. That would allow me to strip at least 20 requests per page...
