Can't you just reason that images coming through earlier is a better experience than not? Do you really need to AB test this?

You can. You can also be wrong.

If the value coming through your site is great enough that marginal improvements (on the order of 1%) are worth time investment (compared to other available improvement avenues) then this is something you should A/B test.

Hah, I'm surprised at the replies here. I guess I'm in the minority opinion (I don't like progressive loading of anything; just prepare the page, then show it to me :-).
