However, since most browsers can make several simultaneous connections,
the image *appears* to arrive faster.

Also, with a sliced image, you can use different types and settings of
optimisation (or even leave the area as a blank table cell or have
'real' text) for each slice, which can drastically reduce the amount
of data required.
