I don't agree, its more than that. When we have a possibility to preload the graphics before we have to make wrong assumptions on its size, we have should do that. At minimum, we should try to get the size right. But that would probably mean to start the coversion/loading anyway.

Which I believe is to late. It should be done lazily (i.e the first screenfull of text should come up really fast) but not too lazy. > It's unlikely to be much of a penalty if you implemented the above > little snippet anyway because most documents don't have hundreds of > images.
