One slowness we find on the iPhone is when using my friend's template that displays his movie library as a series of DVD cover thumbnails. I think he may be using much larger images that are then scaled down, which would explain the long transfer time. But one way or the other, it takes a disappointingly long time to fetch the image data (of course, it's fast once the images are cached).
Currently, I fetch the images one after the other. I had the thought that by opening multiple parallel connections to the RIVA image server, I might be able to fetch the data that much faster. Does the image server support that sort of thing? If so, what would be a reasonable limit on number of parallel connections by a single client?
