What's the most efficient way of doing image based tabs?

First thing that comes to my mind are CSS sprites:

However, there are two approaches and I am not sure which one is best:

1. using one image for all the tab states
2. using one image per tab that contains all states for particular tab

In either case it work but I am afraid that in case #1 the image will slow down 
the page load  - on the other hand loading 9 images for each of the tab is not 
fast either...

Any ideas?

Thanks
