Of course, that's only something the RC devs could say, however, I do have a few related comments. The main reason I implemented CSS sprites was that I knew I was soon going to be living in a location with a relatively slow Internet connection (256kbps) and with high latency. I knew RC was a bit heavy on requests and page size, so I was proactively trying to make RC better equiped for a slow, high latency connction.
Well, I've been here now for over a month and discovered very quickly that RoundCube is quite literally unusable over a link of that speed, even with CSS sprites and a custom theme that ditches a good number of images for CSS buttons. I have to use Google Apps for my work, and even the javascript/ajax interface of Gmail is vastly more usable than RoundCube over this connection. I've reverted to using Mutt and offlineimap, which has restored sanity to my email experience. However, I like what RC is doing and may use it again from time to time when I get back to a faster Internet connection.
