Thanks. The bitmaps are correct after close/open. Anyway, it would 
definitely be better if the bitmaps are regenerated after a preference 
zoom change. I would suggest it as a minor feature enhancement.

Two problems exists though:

1. After I load a document, instant preview seems to be running 
   underground so I can type in words etc. After a while, when the 
   bitmaps are generated, the screen freeze for more than 5 seconds when 
   being refreshed. This is for a one page document with around 100 math 
   symbols. I do not know what will happen to a document with hundreds 
   of formula.

2. When I tried to see what will happen if I change zoom values, I 
   encountered unpredictable crashes. What I did was: 
     open a document, after the instant preview is displayed, preference 
     -> font -> zoom. Change it to 500, apply, change it to 550, apply. 
     After on average 2-5 changes, lyx will crash.
