I read from some browsing, they are optimally used in 4 parallel
request because of DNS look up time.
If the images small enough to combine, it will give me more
alternative. I think I need some test.
By the way, how many a [maximum] size of an http response? How to

I think about small, less static, same size, related images, such as
image profile in social web and try another alternative to pull them
with combining and maybe caching. I can use libgd.
