[Plugin: Portfolio Slideshow] Lazy loading & Buffering question

Hello Dalton.

Since this is not clear from the description nor could I find the answer in the support forum, I have this question.

Q. What is the image/slide buffering & loading strategy implemented in portfolio slideshow?

Details:

What I am concerned to find out is what happens when there are a 100 medium resolution (1 MB each) photographs in a slideshow totaling 100 MB – Does the plugin have to download all images before it can to begin play the slideshow or does the plugin download images as ordered & display them as they become available (i.e. Lazy Loading) ?

If the plugin does support Lazy Loading, does the plugin also have a Buffering strategy to always have at least a couple of images (1, 2 or 3) Before/After the Current image being viewed, downloaded & ready to be displayed, so as to minimize network delays in Lazy Loading.

Or does it not implement any Buffer but just keeps on downloading, all images from the current image being viewed, in descending order, and also wrap around from the 1st until all are done – but then whappens if the user browses the slideshow manually from the middle & keeps browsing it backwards?
