Wow, 25kB? Why are they so big? 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? > 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.
