On a normal size page fitted to 800x600 resolution, I wouldn't have more than about 60 slices for the graphics above the fold. But it really depends on page composition. Also many image slicers use a lot of unnecessary HTML tags, you can reduce the size of the sliced image futher by editing out all superfluous HTML.
wow, nice indications! thanks
