Background image size

Hey guys,
I wanted to ask you what will make the game run more smoothly. For the background in my game I made big detailed images in photoshop, is it better to put 3 very large photos, or is it better to slice them into smaller images? The sliced images look identical to those full one its just a little more work, but which works better?
Thanks for your help!

I believe smaller images are better performant than a large one. Yeah, it’s pain in the rear to chop them up and place them, but the players will appreciate it.

If you’re concerned at all about mobile devices, especially an html game, split them up. Depending on the RAM of the device it will only render an image up to 3 or 5 megapixels.
