Image hosting - Same server or different server?

for site speed optimization

[AjiNIMC]

Hi,

Purpose: I want to make my site load faster

Different Options

1. Host images under the same domain - So no additional three way TCP handshake required.
   
2. Different subdomain for images - Browser pipelining can be utilized.
   
3. Different domain altogether - Browser pipelining can be utilize and also can avoid the site wide cookies with every request.
   

What is your opinion about this?

Thanks,
