owqcd raises a good point -- there are (at least) two use cases:
  1) For some documents, figures are essential to interpretation (e.g. a
scientific impress presentation where almost every slide is a graph).  In my
anecdotal experience, such graphs tend to be simple EPS files for which
rendering can/should be near-instant.  My message earlier was written in
frustration from such an case.
  2) For other documents, figures are either non-essential or involve large,
complex EPS files.  At owqcd states, 
>Also the rendering time can not be improved infinitely
At some point, a large enough EPS will always be slow to render, and importing a
large EPS file should not bring OO to a grinding halt.

So seems there are good arguments to implement an immediate display of bounding
box, threaded full-detail renderer, as well as speeding up the rendering process
(potentially involving an user-specified tradeoff for lower quality).  I see
njsg's suggestion of caching as complementary to these tasks.

od, have you (or someone else) started work on this?  I will look into it, but
don't want to duplicate work.
