The number of bytes in a sprited file can be smaller than the sum of the bytes of each file individually. So the best option might be to inline the sprite :)


so chriseppstein, I would be interested in what you (as the creator of compass), in particular, have to say about which would be better: a "Compass Sprite" ( http://compass-style.org/reference/compass/helpers/sprites/ ) based approach or a compass "inline-image" based approach ( http://compass-style.org/reference/compass/helpers/inline-da... )

edit: oh, so i didn't fully grasp what your comment was saying. are you suggesting that you would use inline-image AND a sprite to put all the images into a sprite AND load that sprite inline with the css?
