It only makes sense that Flash decompresses jpgs when it loads them. The visible
property has nothing to do with that.
When you say visible = true, that would be the absolute worst time to decompress
the image. Imagine decompressing 1000 jpgs at once in a for loop. Imagine when
setting visible = true to check whether or not the Sprite contains an image
somewhere in its child stack that has not been decompressed. There's no way
those are tied together.
Setting visible does one thing. It prevents the pixels from drawing to the
screen during the render cycle.
