Lazy loading images naturally causes a slight delay, because the browser only starts to load them after laying out the DOM and checking whether they're in the viewport. Plus, in Safari, re-rendering the DOM of a lazy-loaded image always causes a brief flicker, even if the image is already cached in the browser. Lazy-loading is most beneficial on large one-off images which are often rendered outside the viewport. That's frequently the case for images which users share in topics. Avatars, on the other hand, are very small images, they're very often above-the-fold, and the same avatar often occurs many times on the same page. Therefore, this commit removes `loading="lazy"` from avatars, which should improve avatar load times in all browsers, and stop the flicker in Safari. --- Tapping logo to reload topic-list in Safari.
