In addition, you probably want to be smart about how you grab things (there's
no need to grab the icons for everything at once, for example, you can be
intelligent about only grabbing what you can see on the screen plus the next N
for some value of N -- if someone scrolls way down in the list and has to wait
for a few icons to load, as long as they lazily do so, that's okay!)
