As far as I can see, it sits there to hold the image at its original size, which 
is needed for rescaling correctly (no need to store it at full size though, as I 
said, screen reso with some fallback loading is probably good enough).

The previous code (before I reworked is did that differently: it nuked the image 
data from the cache after a couple of seconds, meaning that it had to be loaded 
once the user wanted to resize -> jerky feeling.
