The benefits of data:xyz style vs. SVG sprites

Hi.

I just noticed that one thing is not mentioned anywhere in README, but it may have some value to the users.

So, images with data url appear on the screen way faster than all regular images (even if the regular images are in the browser cache already), at least in Chrome. With data url, the images appear on the screen at the same time the text around them appears. With regular images, they're rendered 100-400ms after the text (even with width/height provided, and the image file is in the cache).

So this plugin improves the rendering impression to the user.

yep, perhaps this can be worth mentioning in readme, thanks!
