It is tied in by the fact that Qt has a hard limit as to how many
requests it processes, and if all are busy because of a network issue,
local files won't be loaded.
There's a fix¹ in Qt 5.5 from Albert, but we will probably backport a
bigger patchset² to allow our image providers to implement threading as
they wish. This is tracked by bug #1439263.
