The Hype loading bar is something of a throwback to the Flash days. Since it's not so easy to customize the loading screen — and since modern viewers generally dislike progress bars — my approach to Hype projects has been lightweight graphics… vectors, small images, or stuff that loads later.
So, when you really think about this issue, three things need to happen…
- Make it easier to customize the loading screen
- Setting to make the "preload" option disabled by default.
- Lazy-load setting for images. (No Internet Explorer means the support is excellent.)

I suppose Lazy Loading is already possible (natively with Hype) with custom attributes, but maybe that should be a checkbox?
