Well... *IS* freenet (at large) hideously slow, or is it only initially hideously slow? > Do we need Freenet-level support for [slow-loading images]? As you have already indicated, this can be seen as a work around for poor performance. If there is a chance that we will soon find a magic bullet wrt performance, then this is simply a stop-gap measure. If, on the otherhand, performance remains flat... then this feature is greatly needed, and not only not for onboarding and active links! I have seen those who are just moderately frustrated with slowness try opening a bunch of tabs & windows (trying to combat it), and one page of images gobbles up all the parallel connections the browser will allow to the same host. -- Robert Hailey
