If you have a look at my site based on Zen, with a web page analyzer, http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/wso.php?url=http://w...

You'll notice thatall the icons files are downloaded even if they are not used on that page. It takes around 0.2 seconds of load time per image downloaded. - There are at least 8 icon images that can all be merged into one image and then use CSS sprite rollovers to move the image around.

That will take around 1.6 seconds off from the initial page load of the website.

Please consider this as an option.

Thanks

I don’t know of any real-world browser that downloads all the images specified in a CSS file. They just download the images that are needed for a particular page and ignore the ones the CSS-defined images that aren't needed.

I think what you are describing is a bug/limitation of the websiteoptimization.com tools.
