Three reasons here:

1) it is resource consuming and it actually slows things down a bit
2) currently timeline only works when frontend is there, events are pushed
straight into it, not collected in inspector controller
3) this thing is supposed to survive refresh, so if we are collecting events we
might go out of heap without knowing it (with inspector closed)

I was more saying that we should not differentiate between types of resources.
I should not have used 'it is load event' term, i still think resource load
should be separate from the load event that happens once resource is there.

I don't think it should. It would just start adding more colors to the
subsequent timeline.

I'll wait for you to come up with the mocks and then will be able to hack it
while flying over the ocean. I'd like to agree on the sticky bit though since
it affects the way timeline events are actually collected (whether we need to
cache them in InspectorController or not).
