Preloading Images in iOS
// ImagePreloadingViewController - An iOS view controller for trying out different
// UIImage preloading strategies. Results for 1 MB png on iPhone 4S:
// - No preload: drawing the image right away (80 ms)
// - Header preload: getting the width (10 ms) and then drawing (100 ms)
// - Data preload: getting the data (110 ms) and then drawing (75 ms)
// - Draw preload: drawing it once (100 ms) and then again (20 ms)
// In short: preload a UIImage by drawing it.
