The first load of the homepage can be slow: http://zerror.com/unorganized/wika/lader1.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (I need a bigger monitor, the escalator don't fit on my screen)
well, no wonder that first page load is sluggish, with 12 style sheets, and 12 javascript files - there're plenty of low hanging fruits there.
Maybe a theme can get the individual icons that the theme use, and combine it all in a single png file.
Updating any icon on that theme would result on updating the whole "combine" image ( I herd ImageMagick have a tool just for that, so can be scripted). This seems what sites like www.google.com and www.gmail.com are doing.
I say theme, because I suppose all other images live in a wiki world and can't be combined that way.
Maybe the idea than resource=file must die in 2011 internet :-/
