s2member css sprites

Hello guys, I have a problem with s2member pro slowing down my website performance by like 3-4 seconds according to gtmatrix. when s2 is deactivated my page speed grade and yslow grade having an A rating with a load speed of 1 sec sometimes even less vs 3-4 second load time with the s2 plugin activated. This plugin slows my site down with out a doubt. Ive tested my other plug ins and I dont get that problem. So s2 is the problem, gtmatrix says the following s2 images are causing performace lag and to combine the following images.

I just answered this in your other thread. http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/s2member-slowing-my-site-down/#post-30264

I’ll close this one so we don’t have the same conversation in two separate threads. :)
