Check the devel list, you'll see a drupal_get_path being issued. It's done by theme_tablesort_indicator(), which in turn calls theme_image(), which calls url(). Somehow, I'd like to get in and add "'alias' => TRUE" to prevent the path query. These useless drupal_get_path calls are all over core. They may be quick, but they do take time.

Before I go and submit a small performance patch to core, I am curious as to whether anyone, at any time, for any reason, has ever used a URL alias for the up and down images ('misc/arrow-asc.png', 'misc/arrow-desc.png')?
I'm pretty sure you can't use a URL alias for those, since they're served directly by the webserver and not by Drupal.
