I believe that paperclip actually stores a copy of the images in the public directory by default. Once the html is rendered to the browser the image requests should not go through the rails stack.
Let us know what firebug says. Browser load times are dependent on many factors, and often the rails stack is not the slowest piece of the pie. Once you prove there is some evidence that rails is significantly slowing you down, then it would be worth trying to optimize it. But minimizing javascript, css, and images often has a more profound effect on browser load times. Then caching pages, actions, etc helps immensely too. Let us know the firebug or safari browser load time for each part of the http requests.
