CSS Images and Data URIs
From the article: A few weeks ago I took a quick look at replacing the CSS images on this site with data URIs, via Nicholas Zakas’ handy CSSEmbed tool. I figured out I could serve the same amount of data with 1 HTTP request instead of 14. At face value it sounded like a huge performance gain: same amount of data transmitted, far fewer HTTP requests, how could it not result in significantly better performance?
