Sorry to disagree, but all the other reasons from other postings are
entirely correct and valid. There are many good reasons to slice up large
images - as a general principle load time is not one of them.
Each server request for a file requires a protocol handshake - multiple
images require multiple requests and actually slow the process although it
may APPEAR to load faster.
