More usable? How does [breaking up an image] do that?
Seems to me, as long as you author the
site so that no text is situated to the off-window side of an image larger
than the window, that it would be better to just have part of the image not
visible than to have little chunks of it cluttering up the screen.

I said it's a messy solution; the best solution is to smallify the
picture or eliminate it.

I don't know what's on the right side of the picture until I look
there. I have to scroll. There may be buttons, navigation elements,
who knows? And I also don't know that there's nothing way below the
picture but also off to the right, especially in a table. I've seen
it many times.

The user doesn't really care about the picture. They want the info.
