I am sorry it took so long for me to answer, I simply overlooked your review request.

I haven't yet tried your patch, though it sounds very interesting -- depending on the comic I often had the same problem as well :) -- and I am going to try it the next days.

This is very useful if you're reading throug a particular comic, especially on slower connections. It's a two-line patch, but it greatly improves the experience for this use-case. Caching is done by the DataEngine, so no further modifications were needed.
