Actually, if you want a dungeon to load really fast, I think you should try
a table. You'd have very few, very small graphics (say for just 2 for wall
and open for starters), and the html-text for tables should load much faster
than a lot of Graphics. Though I never used a 100 x 100 table in practise;-)
For it to load fast you'd have to explicitly state all sizes in pixels.
