Serving static content from a cookieless domain

[vajra]

Hi everyone, just discovered this amazing site! Really well thought out & put together.

I ran a test on my site & saw that I need to Enable browser caching of static assets. Searching to find out more I found this thread instead. It seems really interesting.

Do I understand this correctly?... When images are downloaded cookies get downloaded with them too? So if I put my images on a separate domain which does not use cookies I will get a faster response time? That would also apply to style sheets etc?

Sorry if this is a real newbie kind of question.
