An alternative that would not degrade startup performance is to ship one res bmp along with vector files. When an image is referenced initially, use the shipped bmp and start a background render job from the vector file. Once render completes, cache the result to disk and swap in the correct res image into the running instance. This would make Eclipse behave analogous to progressive resolution image loading.

Just a thought and I am certainly not in a position to volunteer to implement something like this. :)

That sounds like a good idea. Please put it in a bugzilla so that it's stored somewhere and becomes more likely to be implemented.
