Why is that?

Perhaps you could use a similar approach? Bad idea. Konni was already complaining about that features for graphics. In old LyX you had just to wait some time and were sure that everything was loaded.

Actually I want it mainly for the real graphics, because that's where it is really needed. I don't care too much for the preview gimmick.
