<AREA blah blah onMouseOver="fastOff.src = fastOn.src; return true"
onMouseOut="fastOff.src='fast-off.gif';">

Is causing the image to be reloaded every time another area is moused
over.

put the mouseover on the entire image.. like:

<A HREF="this_url_doesn't_matter_because_the_imagemap_will_take_over"
onMouseOver="fastOff.src = fastOn.src;"
onMouseOut="fastOff.src='fast-off.gif';"><img
src="fast-off.gif" alt="Faculty / Staff" border=0 name="fastOff"
usemap="#fast"></A>

The reason I break up the
<A HREF="BLAH">
<IMG SRC="blah">
</A>

syntax like:
<A HREF="BLAH"><IMG
SRC="blah"></A>

is to avoid the space that can result before/after the image in the
anchor. (A newline is often rendered as an actual space, so I leave it out
between the tags and break the tags themselves up)

Unfortunately, I can't help with the other two questions.
