In most common web browsers, are the images displayed using <image> tags loaded by asynchronous requests?
Modern browsers can reflow the page, so they will load the images asynchronously.
Way back some browsers (like Netscape 4) could not reflow the page, so they would have to wait until they knew the size of each image until they could render the rest of the page. If you specified the width and height in each image tag they could load all images asynchronously, otherwise they had to load enough of each image to determine the size before they could continue to render the page.
