Image downloads are slow

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Currently, it takes a long time to download images, because

  1. they're downloaded sequentially and
  2. each image size probed performs new request.

We can solve or alleviate this through the following means:

  1. Issue requests and transfer data concurrently (preferably outside the UI event handler thread).
  2. Query the available image sizes with a single request through the Flickr API (requires developer account and an API key).

Point 2 is solved in 7d545a9.
