Agreed. That would also allow us to load progressive jpegs one step at a time (first round is blurry, cleans up until it gets to the desired res). Many web browsers, microsoft picture viewer, etc. do this. The advantage for us is that the first few nasty looking decodes may not even be seen due to transitions/fades.
