Default difference between relative path and full URL

Hi,

My question is does anyone know the difference between specifying a relative
path such as
<img src="images/myimg.gif"> and full URL
<img src="http://mysite.com/images/myimg.gif">?

Does the second one issue an additional http request? if so, i have all my
images in a page with full URL, will that slow down the page download time?

Best of all, is it possible to deliver both text/html and image/gif in one
http request? I suspect that typically they are separate requsts to the
server, right?

Any pointer or insight would be appreciated.

Shawn
