ok, lets just call a kettle a kettle.
you arent talking about speed. speed is determined by the processor. what you mean is
image load times.
this is determined by bandwidth of the users, and the server load.
and if you check the suggestions forum you will find a thread like this where i mentioned it (
http://forum.tribalwars.net/showthread.php?t=408 ) . maybe one of the threads could be locked and the topic can be easily found in one spot.
odds are being a premium feature though it will not be offered to reduce server load. but would be very easy to implement shoudl the default choice be given to all.
however that is for hoodoo to decide IF the server that houses the graphics is getting stressed and costing too much on bandwidth usage fees.
it would be nice for faster caching of pages to have a standard images packet on each players computer if they choose to increase page load times, but as i said...premium feature. about $3 a month gets it for you and help support the game.
or recruit a player like it says in the settings section and get 5 free premium points and spend it on a month worth of premium. (IF the referal system is still available)
