Vapourware, vapourware... As you have found with the maths preview, a document with hundreds of images takes for ever to load up because we start hundreds of forked processes and that takes some effort. I implemented the "startLoading in draw" idea because I wanted to start on my document when I typed lyx doc.lyx. It seemed like a reasonable compromise. Lazy loading is a GREAT goal but we haven't even begun to consider it. Angus
