-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
 The default page will load 33 pngs.  A lot of these average at around 200-
 300 bytes in size.  Using CSS sprites can improve latency and the feel of
 a weblocks application a lot.

 I am measuring around 2s load time using firebug on the default weblocks-
 demo page.
 My guess is that CSS sprites can shave off around .5 seconds.

 How to reproduce:
 {{{
 (require :weblocks-demo)
 (weblocks:start-server)
 }}}

 In firefox, install firebug.

 Enable firebug for your site.
 Do a "shift-reload" (holding shift down while doing a reload) to do a
 fresh load of the front-page.  Inspect the "Net" tab in firebug to get a
 timeline.
