Hi everybody!
Till asked me to ask the rest of the devs about their opinion
regarding http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1484858, "Speed up the interface
loading by using CSS sprites for images".
It wasn't that long ago that everyone split big images into many
smaller ones to make the page appear to load faster because there
were many connections to the server. There are features in
Photoshop / ImageReady to do just that. Seems there is a pendulum
that swings between many small images and few large images. Will RC
change again when this pendulum swings back the other way ?
Is it a better solution to load images in the background while the
user is typing in the login info, so that the images are cached by
the time the "login" button is pushed ?
If RC is used a lot by the user, won't the images reside in the local
browser cache 90% of the time anyway ?
Besides first-time users, will this change really make a difference ?
