It would probably be better to set the images as full seperate links to an
http URL as opposed to an a relative link under the https side (i.e. if
your page was https://mysite.com then access the graphics in the html as
http://mysite.com/graphic/whatever.jpg than /graphic/whatever.jpg). The
SSL overhead for the graphics is simply not needed unless they have
content that is to be protected as well.
The side benefit is that the graphics are then not protected and hence
Netscape will not ask you for the certificate every time.
We have a large site (currently using Stronghold) which employs extensive
SSL and it was really bogging our server down. Forcing the graphics to
come over the regular http port helped out a lot.
