Summary HTTPS page with a large amount of images (1000) takes a long time to load

I have a page containing 1,002 (I think) images - about 1,000 16x16 icons, a banner logo and a small tiled background image for headers. On WebKit (and the currently shipping latest version of Safari 3), this page takes an incredibly long time to load. It loads pretty fast in other browsers (I checked Firefox 2 and 3). I popped open the Activity viewer, and it looks like WebKit knows that the page has a lots and lots of images, but downloads them one at a time (and pretty slowly at that). I'm on a 100mb connection and the server I'm connecting to is .. downstairs, on the same network, so I don't think its a bandwidth or speed issue.

I suspect the overhead of SSL is the relevant factor here.
