   Advantages of using interlaced gifs
   
   In my opinion, the interlaced feature should only be used for large (in physical dimensions or in file size) gifs in which a 'blurred' image is displayed first to the user. The user can then get an idea about the image and choose to stop or continue the download. For smaller images (less than 6 KB), interlacing should not be applied (read below).
   
   Disadvantages of using interlaced gifs
   
   Though the user generally "feels" that an interlaced image is being dowloaded faster, adding the feature to gif images increases their file size. Hence, interlacing is most suited for large images where displaying the image (at least a blurred version) is of prime importance and a little increase in file size can be ignored.
