It wouldn't, but it will affect the overall experience.
I'll try and explain:
4 Smaller Images: 5 Seconds each = 20 seconds total
1 Large Combined Image: 20 Seconds
Now, if I load the combined image it'll take 20 seconds before the image is
properly visible. If I load one of the smaller images, it'll only take 5, so
the whol page is loaded much more quickly.
Once that's done, I want to cpntinue load the rest of the images in the
background.
I hope that explains it. If not, just let me know. :)
