Better performance...embedded or linked graphics?

1.) Are there any performance advantages using embedded versus linked graphics?

2.) If I am running a solution off of a server would there be any benefit in performance by having the graphics stored in a separate folder on each client's computer so they are not constantly loading over the network?

3.) I have several tabs with several different interface graphics on each tab. When I open the tabs on a client computer I notice a slight delay when the tab is viewed for the first time. After each tab is viewed once it seems to load the tab almost instantly. I assume that the tab graphics are being loaded into memory.
