A long time ago, I figured I'd save bandwidth by making the background image a single pixel (don't ask why I didn't just set the background color, I don't have a good reason). That was back in the days when web designers tried to make their pages less than 15k.
The rendering of the image on the background in Netscape was so slow, you could see it draw the lines across the screen.
