This has changed over time, but it used to be that browsers would not
display your page at all until the images were downloaded if you were
missing any height and width tags.  Now they mostly go ahead and adjust
later.

There is no caching other than what your OS does for filesystem access.
Most people who use this plugin are probably publishing static sites,
and don't care about the speed.
