Ideal resolution for an image on the web

What do you recommend? Should your web image have a resolution of 72dpi or is it irrelevant as the browser works in pixels and 100 pixels are 100 pixels no matter what dpi you select? What do you think?

    I always stick to 72dpi, More so for speed. When you start going for higher resolutions you immediately notice the speed impairment.

    I always use 72dpi. I have tried higher resolutions but when optimized it does not look good so I tend to stick to 72dpi. There is a possibility of the loading times increasing the higher the resolution so this is something worth taking into account when deciding what resolution to use.
