Since you handled the Apache side of the question, I'll point out that
the problem with the images and style sheet loading is not Apache, but
the web browser itself. When you get a large number of widgets on a web
page some browsers really start to choke up and do things exactly like
was described.

Use POST, not GET for the form method when you have lots of data.
You can get Apache to accept more using
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#limitrequestline
but it is not a great idea. The GET method is not designed
to handle huge input like that.
