I changed parallel image decoder to trigger decoding on layout as
Alpha suggested. Unfortunately, it does not seem to relieve flashing.
I tested the change on Tumblr site, but the difference was visually
indistinguishable.

However, theoretically there must be some improvements. I want to
discuss more about it while parallel image decoder is reviewed.
