A client processor, comprising:

• a processor;
• a communications module, executed on the processor, configured to open a session with a server, configured to request a plurality of objects from the server, configured to receive a response message from the server, the response message containing the plurality of objects packed into the response message, and configured to end the session with the server after receiving the response message, wherein the objects comprise graphical images displayable on a web page;
• an unpacking module configured to automatically unpack from the response message the plurality of packed objects;
• and
• a browser coupled to the unpacking module, configured to display on the web page the plurality of unpacked objects,
• wherein the browser is further configured to display on the web page, the plurality of unpacked objects comprising the graphical images in a second order provided in the response message, wherein the second order is different from a first order in which the plurality of the packed objects are unpacked from the response message.

• program operations for opening a session with the server;
• program instructions for requesting the plurality of objects from the server, wherein the objects comprise graphical images displayable on a web page by a web browser;
• program instructions for receiving a response message from the server, the response message containing the plurality of objects packed into the response message;
• program instructions for ending the session with the server after the receiving the response message;
• program instructions for automatically unpacking the plurality of objects contained in the response message for displaying on the web page by a web browser;
• and
