    It depends on the site.

    I recently finished a corporate site that had heavy use of images for titles and subtitles. I tried to convince them to use html but for branding purposes they needed a specific type.

    Anyway, i found it useful to preload so there was no screen jitter from page to page.

    I also found it useful to use width and height in my image take so the browser knows how much screen to use for images.

    So yeah I would say its still useful.
