    Hi, just a quick question...

    If I have a long gradient bar that (say height: 50px and width: 1000px)

    which would create a quicker loading time on a website:
    1. Crop the image to 50px & 5px and repeat X
    2. Keep it as it is.

    Are there any pros and cons for each?

    Crop it.
    If it's only 1000px wide, you'll have to x repeat it for higher resolutions (1000px+) anyway.

    Repeating the image won't increase loading time. Once it's loaded, you can use it "bandwidth free".

    But I don't think loading time (especially on such a small scale as a background tile) is an issue anymore.

    :)
