Css Image Embedder puts your background files directly into corresponding CSS file. Thanks to this - your server needs to handle fewer requests and the page layout renders smoothly (whole stylesheet at once).
gem install css_image_embedder
In environments/production.rb:
config.assets.css_compressor = CssImageEmbedder::Compressor.new
Css Image Embedder has one major disadvantage. Files converted into base64 are approximately 30% bigger then normal, so when you embed them into CSS file, the total size of CSS with backgrounds will not be equal to sum of CSS file and backgrounds files. However, if you use gzip compression on your server - it will compress CSS file and the total size will be approximately equal. So just turn gzip compression on :)
We set up CssImageEmbedder::Compressor as a css compressor and... thats all :)
config.assets.css_compressor = CssImageEmbedder::Compressor.new
