Yeah, I've thought to myself as well that it'd be great to see current
JPEG and PNG support available for the WPS.
On the top of preloading though, I believe as of version 0.9 of
Mozilla on the Win32 platform you can select an option to allow Moz to
load a lot of its DLLs at boot-up, to give it a load-time that appear
much more like IE. Though it has one important difference. The user
can *decide* if he/she wants it or not!
