Webmaster Forum - View Single Post - Many small 50 byte buttons requires many get requests which slows down my webpage

I've heard that something called Sprite can help with this. What are the alternatives to using Sprite? I'd rather not have to change anything in my code and graphics if possible. I have a lot of jQuery that I wrote to run a user interface with several small buttons and turning all these images into one graphic using Sprite is not sounding fun to me. Can anything be done on the server end? We're using IIS and Coldfusion 8.
