hi, i made a mainly image based site, and used "save for web and devices" option in photoshop to optimize my slices of the site. due to the use of a gradient in the background, i couldnt get the image sizes that small, because of banding when i turned them into gifs. so i was wondering if anyone could tell me if my site loads fast enough? or if it loads in slow pieces? also , i was wondering what the benefit is of using ems over pixels for margins/padding?if there is one. any help greatly appreciated. thank you. derek.

here is the site i am talking about

Em's will produce a more 'liquid' site than px, which are not flexible.

Site loads fast enough on a broadband connection.

It took me about 4 seconds on a 10mb connection. But once it's in my cache, it's very snappy. If I were you, I would have one big image as the background, and then make the buttons CSS, seeing that they're only text. It would cut down a lot on load time.
