didn't load at all for me... Your webserver/host might be the problem.

CSS is not the problem. What counts most is - indeed - the amount of images. And the amount of total requests. And size. One advantage of css and css bg images is that usually they are cached, so they won't need to be reloaded again.

CSS actually helps in this case. Once the page has loaded once, most of the CSS and images are cached
