Given I use the cache-first method, I forgot about that and was never 
really bothered by it.  But from reports, the problem is far worse for 
users that download and save directly, instead of as two separate 
operations, as the two operations appear to interfere with each other at 
least to some extent, and fast-freeze-fast-freeze becomes a problem, with 
the freezes apparently occurring during the decode-and-combine phase, 
freezing other stuff while that bit is occurring.

Doing the caching first, the decode-and-combine when I actually save 
something isn't as troublesome, as it comes when I've specifically setup a 
save job, instead of at a more or less random time when all the segments 
of a post happen to be completely downloaded so it can be saved 
automatically, as happens with the download-and-save method.
