hi chris

well, you've received a couple dozen answers, and all of them missed the
obvious solution to streamlining page weight -- ditch any useless graphics

to be fair, your subject line "source readability v. download weight" did
influence the types of answer you got

and before i get flamed by the two or three designers that are still
subscribed to thelist (there are blessed few of them, and we need to hang
on to as many of them as we can), i want to emphasize my choice of the
adjective "useless"

eliminating rollover images in favour of css hover often saves you much
more than anything you can do to streamline your code

just my three cents canadian
