*shudder*. An interesting experiment, but I hope the lesson here isn't "use data uris", for the reasons Kyle/Axel mentioned.
I suspect you digging a local optimum-hole... How's this compare to using SPDY (or even spriting)? How's it compare to other page optimizations (12MB still seems like a lot for what's there). How's this compare on mobile, where memory/cpu/network are often far more limited and slower?
