作者在早期的readme中写到他的动机，当他刚开始写iOS的应用程序的时候，在UITbaleView上设置从web拿图片，苹果没有提供API。

作者当时搜索了很多的资料，大多数都是使用的NSURLConnection来实现的，这虽然能够工作，但是响应速度还是很慢，于是经过尝试，发现NSOperation来处理非常的快速，不会卡顿。

使用用户缓存目录而不是ducment目录，以防止缓存在iTunes中来回同步。

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSCachesDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

documents，应用中用户数据可以放在这里，iTunes备份和恢复的时候会包含此目录；

Library/Caches，存放缓存文件，iTunes不会备份此目录，此目录下文件不会在应用退出后被删除。

用一个UIImageView分类来替代BJCAWebImageView，这样集成的时候就更简单了。
