Wonder how this ties in with the recent discussion over Data URI slowness on mobile [1] [2]. I have to admit I've not read all the articles in full so the question may have been answered. I see Pete did write in a comment to [1] "I haven't tried data URId fonts or SVGs but those are great ideas for follow on tests" [1] http://www.mobify.com/blog/data-uris-are-slow-on-mobile/ [2] http://www.mobify.com/blog/base64-does-not-impact-data-uri-performance…

Domain sharding almost never makes any sense, especially on mobile, and with HTTP2 it's working against you. http://www.mobify.com/blog/domain-sharding-bad-news-mobile-performance…
