Excellent article, I’ve known about deferred loading as a technique for improving site speed for a while (Github do it well), but never thought to apply to images like this.
More web designers should care about the speed of their websites, it has a real impact on a visitor’s experience, Amazon know this all too well with their studies. I’d suggest anyone who hasn’t read the Y!Slow guidelines really should, they are straight forward and can provide a great benefit.
