Didn't test it but it is interesting patch. Could be used
in
main branch - switch behaviour according  to speed of
connection (even on dial-up).

An additional heuristic might be to also account for image
sizes (could
be scaled of course). Eg. for smaller than 32x32+1, load
them earlier.

Though in KDE there is also the KIO cache ..

If we only had a reliable way to determine the network
speed...

This patch minimizes the number of bytes read before the
page is fully readable, what happens after that is less
important.
Anyway, I'm not sure whether that heuristics is desirable
at all. I'd even
say load images ordered by ascending distance to the current
viewport's
center...

It might be interesting to load images from the KIO cache in
advance,
right. Is there a function that indicates the caching status
for a URL?
