image preload?

[mtoensing]

Hi!

I wonder if you could implement a simply preload mechanism for images. This would make a huge difference for the users. An option on how many images would be preloaded is much appreciated.

Thumbs up for this request!

This would be a great feature. It takes too long to update every image.

It does not seem to be so difficult. I simply added in:
js/jquery.swipebox.js

after each line like this:
this.preloadMedia( index+1 );

two additional lines:
this.preloadMedia( index+2 );
this.preloadMedia( index+3 );

To preload 3 images. And It works pretty much faster!!!
