If an image is already cached when using this helper, it just displays the cached image tag without having to instantiate a phpThumb object. Note: I haven't done any sort of testing with this helper on a production website. Only on a dev site so there's a chance some bugs could creep in that I haven't experienced yet.

This solution aims to solve that by keeping your files seperate, and implementing the advantages of cake so ultimately your users will only have to download one aggregated JS and CSS file.
