I guess it depends at what point it does the first render. I rarely see images load progressively in the first place, but when I do it's usually with an initial render that looks like 1967 needs their image back. My guess is that it's busy downloading the many/largeish js/css files that prevent it from getting very far on images before the DOM is ready for initial render.

Or maybe, you only notice that one because it's obvious, but most of the time when you see a JPG which you think has finished loading, it's actually still not done but it looks like it's done, as in the example above.

I honestly could not tell it was still going after the 2nd progressive layer.
