Cutting up an image to make it load easier?

[mattgaunt]

Hey everyone

I've seen websites that take an image and cut it up to make chunks of it load quicker.

Do you think this would be a good idea to apply on the image at the top of the page of this link http://www.gauntface.co.uk/sites/home.php ??

Just it takes a lil while to load up and was looking for ideas to increase the loading time, even if it is making it so the visitor waits the same amount of time but at least gets to see that something is gettin loaded.

lol nice simple solution - I might of set GIMP to some stupid compression setting when I made it.

I understand that overall splitting the image would increase the overheads, it was jus more of the impression that it was loading faster would have been what I was going for, but no need now

The host is streamline.net, are they a bad host to use??

Thanks for the help guys
