For the user it will presumably be much faster, especially after the images were cached. The gain will of course depend on the image size compared to the speed of the structure drawing application.
We do this for example for the JenaLib (http://www.fli-leibniz.de/IMAGE.html) with Jmol for all about 90,000 structures resulting in about 300,000 precomputed images.
