This only happens when you store resources in S3 from what I understand. I do get initial render before avatars load, I know when we were in Australia on wifi I saw lots of slow network effects.

Why would image load block initial render? I certainly do not see that. The page has no knowledge of images until the JavaScript draws the html on the page…
