Test GIF Loading
This is a demonstration of how the total number of small graphics files
affects page serving performance.
The following is a series of calls to identical pages, each of which
contains the about 9,000 bytes of text, plus calls to a variable number of
short *.gifs, each of which is 223 bytes. A different name is used for every
*.gif to foil any file name matching. The aim is to make an almost constant
*.htm page but with a variable number of *.gifs to evaluate file serving time.
Clear your browser cache and note the load times for each page.
