Tip
Latency and download speeds
Often times I see sites with a million small images for a nav bar. I often prefer to use fewer but larger images. While an image map, or a larger images may be heavier in k, there is far less latency; the browser may have to download 10 k instead of 8k, but it only needs to send a request to the server once, as opposed to once per 1k image. Try it, quite often, you can speed up the download by many factors. You'll probably find that the browser renders it faster too.
