No, just the opposite. It takes more time to transfer the data (due to
various overhead factors like HTTP transaction) and more time to assemble
the image. Perhaps worst of all, users may see the image being built from
slices in some order, possibly in some strange order.

No, we really want to help you with that problem. We ask everything you
should have asked but didn't dare to. But you must help us to help you by
posting the URL of your current draft page and explain what you're doing.
