Add-on Pause Gif until Hover/Click

[intradox]

Any possible way to have an addon parse the thread for .gif images and pause them until the image is either hover over and/or clicked on. Similar to tumblr and google+

I'm hoping this would make the threads heavy with gifs load faster

Just searched hoping to find something like this.

Anyone?

Actually the trick here is to load a Static image first instead of the gif. Once the user clicks the IMg it loads the gif file.
One shortcoming of this might be converting the gif uploaded to a static image.
Otherwise coding the rest of the plugin seems pretty straightforward.
