For 4 rounded corners you probably need to download 4 images. Thats 4 extra connections to the server to connect to, download, process. It isn't the processor

It isn't the processor time that is taking longer its the transfer time.
- steveklabnik 16y agoNot anymore you don't.
- robgough 16y agoMost modern browsers (all but IE I believe) will let you round corners with CSS. An extra line or so of CSS is hardly much of a transfer overhead. I believe current thinking (on non-enterprise sites anyway) is to let the IE people have their square corners, and those on new browsers get all the curvy goodness.
- sanswork 16y agoYes, that is why I added the probably. The vast majority of rounded corners I see are still done with images however.
