This piques my curiosity because I find that having added multiple war
overlays to our trunk has slowed down the build time required considerably.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I've done both, depending on the use case. But in general, an image is  
going to be a servlet context resource and thus is a reasonable use  
for war overlay. That said, an image certainly could be on the  
classpath and accessed with ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream().
