Why is the template 1.2Mb small ? ultimately it has to come down to

has an impact on load time, that makes us look slower than we need to be
so ...
Right, right. But thats not something for racing into 3.6. Its also currently
three templates that reach ~1MB (packed) the others are smaller. Also note that
the old ones we are replacing werent exactly small either (and contained bitmap
uglyness).
IMHO we need to be -extremely- economical (within the boundaries of
good taste) with our templates' artwork. If we want nice gradients and
lush shapes - we need to strongly consider embedding SVG, or Star
meta-files to achieve that).
In part my desire to have flat templates is a wish to -see- such big
beasts close up and personal ;-) if we achieve that already - good.
Does that make sense ? :-)
It does. But it also does not help us for 3.6. For 3.6, IMHO we should just go
with what we have and do the fancy spacesaving in 3.7/4.0.
Best,
Bjoern
