These stats are usually about when the site becomes accessible, not jumping, text or the most important content loaded etc. Of course, optimizing images is important, but they load async anyway. Besides, people using imgx probably are heavy on pictures sites anyway.

Better start cutting the js and css bloat and load them both async.
