well the effect you're describing is achieved with a separate file.
If you want to skip through byte data of a high res file that's being loaded, say skip to every 10th pixel, get its color data and show that, you will still have to load the entire file, and it will take just as long.
The reason the size getting thing works is that data is in the beginning of the JPG, which means you can use it after a second of loading.
By not using a separate file for low-res preview, you're essentially doing regular html style progressive loading like here for flash http://www.onflex.org/ted/2007/1… but way more complicated, as you'd be skipping through pixels in a way that will depend on the size of each jpg.
And good luck clicking anything else while that's happening.
