CORRECTION TO THIS BY AUTHOR: There is a timer, it just waits until all the normal images load (and I was too lazy to wait). Upon refreshing, the MXHR stream was 10.3x faster on my FF.

Hmm, I tried 10-20 times and MXHR was always slower. Sometimes a full half-second slower. I had some times approaching 1-second load time, meanwhile the "normal" load was consistently between 350-400ms.

I know it's just a proof of concept and yes, YMMV, but couldn't they come up with a demo that clearly showed this new technology they invented was worth using?
