I note that in 0.8 the image Preloader code has been replaced by qx.io2.ImageLoader.
I won't be able to use this for image preloading so shall have to write my own. For qooxdoo's purposes it might be a good idea to change the __onload and __onerror routines so that element.src is set to "" so that you guarantee to free up memory associated with the image, though this isn't so much of a problem with full downloading of images. > I found that if downloading of this image was aborted, FF retained > the memory allocated for it.
