I don't see much point in disabling them unless you are working over dialup...
I am on dialup about half of the time and even then I prefer to wait longer, than to miss the information present in the images. There are only very few websites left on the net which are 100% usable without the images.
The only exception is when I browse with the Lynx textbrowser to see how accesible sites are for search engines and people with disabilities.
