Output Buffer on Images being loaded into a page

Permalink
I would like to run an output buffer on the output->thumbnail or on a block so that the page does not hang when I click the Gallery link, (whilst processing the pages) currently you would have to visit a gallery once to load the images into the cache.

Then subsequent visits seem to load faster I am assuming it is the processing of the images that takes so long.

Can anyone advise on a better way to load a page and then display the images? or at least load a loading gif whilst the images load?

or a way I can pre cache the file sets/images when I create the gallery (currently done within the admin section)

Is it possible to create the cached version of an image on creation of the page/block? when done from within the dashboard.

I could then instead prevent my gallery from being delayed by creating the required fields on creation of the page and gallery block?

I am using the $html->outputThumbnail() but is there a way I could use the outputThumbnail() without using the $html helper?

This way I would not need to rely on the output buffer, although nice to have
