newbie question:
A have been making stories with pictures included by using the Only local images are allowed. tag, there I refer with a relative path to .jpg files in a dir (src="/files/pictures/pic1.jpg")
This system works, however, is this ok for performance?? I have a feeling that including pictures this way slows down the site (jpg files are realy small (max 60KB))

Is there a more efficient way (in terms of performance) to work with pictures?

For sanity sake I find it much easier to work with the Inline module. Which can be found at: http://drupal.org/project/inline

But I don't know if it is any more efficient than what you are doing now, but it may save you some headaches trying to track down which image goes where.

All of the web's images are served using exactly the way you suggested (src="/files/pictures/pic1.jpg"). More importantly, pictures are stored as files (under files directory), so this is the most efficient way to serve images!

ok, then I can stick to this low level approach.
Thanks for your feedback!
