hm strange. for me, the first time I loaded the page and whizzed the slider back and forth, it felt like each face was loading separately (faces were half-loaded etc).

or it could have been just the large sprite was still downloading as I was sliding the bar.

in which case, probably best to preload it :)

Are you on a slow connection? Has always seemed fine here. Or perhaps that s3 bucket is not near your part of the world, so a bit slower for you than me
