Suppose I am using a DIV element for which I can either add a background image or can replicate the same style creating a CSS3 gradient. Now, for Phonegap applications (where all the image files reside in the device itself), which option is better to go for.
I am asking this because I saw somewhere that the gradients takes some computation time where using image may create a loading time issue. But for Phonegap apps, the image load time issue may not be there. So, maybe just using the image be a better option here?
