>From recent tests on both DoCoMo and AU phones, combining a three
variations of a four-image tabset (3 * 4 images == 12 images) into
three images resulted in a noticeable decrease in load time,
indicating that DoCoMo and AU proxies do not (yet?) aggregate image
requests at the gateway.

Tragically, neither DoCoMo nor AU seems to support inline images, so
images remain to be a source of extra request slowness on keitai
sites.
