I've thought about this...  However, this would slow it down more and
additionally require reading yet one more image file...  

What should be done (and will be I promise) is to create a variable so
that it will optionally update the buffer first rather than force it
to, as is being done now...  That way you can pick if it does said
improvement.

Yep, its on my todo list in fact...  I want to essentially zap the
address out of the From: line and replace it with icons...  This
should be an option though.  Maybe set gnus-picons-display-where to
'from-line or something instead of 'article.  That way its
user-pickable...
