If there's a way to tell it not to render until x% downloaded, sure. Otherwise slower connections see the low-q versions for a while and it can disconcerting. Either to some users or some PMs.

However progressive jpegs could improve initial paint times. These are dynamic so each page would have it's own unique (although related) profile.
