Actually it is far better than the .htaccess file you propose.

In your case any file or directory not found will force a redundant call to your codeigniter application. This means if favicon.ico or robots.txt files don't exist your application will run pointlessly and you have no way of controlling this behaviour. If css referenced images are missing the problem is accentuated further.

The better option it to specify which files and directories should be ignored and which should access the application. Like so:

Code:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|gallery|img|images|pdf|css|js|flash|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
