I've noticed that when an image loads on a website, you have to wait for the request for the image to be responded to, and then you have to wait for the image's binary data to load. Is there any way to embed your images right in the HTML page so all you have to wait for is the loading of the binary data? It seems like that could really speed up a page's loading time. Of course, it's bound to make for some ugly source code.

This isn't going to speed things up enough that a visitor to the page would notice.

And allowing the text to load first also gives visitors something to read while waiting for the images :)
