CSS speed test: flat, vs gradients, vs sprites

I recently created a simple css speed test page to see what the difference is between using a flat background colour, a css gradient, or a sprite gradient: http://playground.mattbailey.co/css-speed-test/

It's not a particularly scientific test as there are many factors involved in perceived page load times, but it seems to give a useful indication.

It works by using javascript to compare the difference between the download complete time and the render complete time, the result being the window paint time. It then records these results using localStorage and generates an average window paint time. Obviously the more times you click a test the more accurate the average.

When I run the tests myself in Chrome the flat background colour has consistently the fastest window paint time, followed closely by sprite gradients, then css gradients, but there's really not much in it - less than 10ms between the fastest and slowest. I suppose this isn't very surprising, but I'd be interested to know whether others get similar results.
