Hey-o, this is just a quick check to see if anyone is interested in my modification of style.css to conglomerate the dozens of graphics files used in this theme into single files that then use CSS-Sprite technique to place on the page, a la: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/27/the-mystery-of-css-sprites-te...
This has resulted in tremendously lower http requests on my site, might do the same for you too. You can see how crazy fast Deco loads on my site here: www.downfallguild.org. And the pingdom results, which are much lower now: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/?url=downfallguild.org/&id=1855408
I'll package it up if anyone wants to try it out.
