Is it better to serve an image from a file or as a base64 string?

If you serve the image from a file it will be slightly smaller but it will result in an extra GET. There is a (large, 3mb) example here Notice that the div with a translucent red gradient shows up on the page first. Next comes the background on the body element (which is the largest image). Finally the little earth picture shows up. But they don't show up at the time. This happens even though the images are included in the pages css.
