Sliced images and loading times

Is it worth slicing large(r) images into smaller ones? Can it actually speed up site loading times? I myself haven't noticed any difference, but still, I thought I would ask.

I doubt. Slicing will just complicate layout even more. What you can do is compare size of all slices with size of the whole image and see what the difference is.

depending on image content, you can save some space in compressed images, however it's offset by the size of the header and setup information needed for each image, along with the HTML required to set up their layout.
