Is this just a theory? Or can you supply info that suggests this is true? I've never seen anywhere, but I theorized exactly opposite of you. I've never designed a large site, always under 40 pages and usually under 20 pages, so I figured why make the server look in another directory and just put the images in the root directory. I thought this would be faster. Am I wrong?
