Three days late, but I finally thought of something I wish I'd proposed at the meeting: image decoding on a background thread.

For this I guess we'd need some attribute on IMG/Image/HTMLImageElement that would indicate that the main thread doesn't have to decode this image. I'm not sure if we need a new "ready" event, or just assume that "load" means loaded and decoded.
