Right now we defer dispatching preloads until the document element is available, to wait for ApplicationCache to be initialized.
Extensions run their content scripts keyed off of the document being initialized as well.
We could dispatch preloads *after* ApplicationCache is ready, but *before* extensions run their scripts. Local testing shows this could be a win of ~130ms on the critical rendering path.
