Instead of waiting for the cache to resolve and complete the download, we can use the downloadURL to show an image in the meantime the cache is populated. This will download the asset twice, but the second time we can get it from the cache.

Using covariant in this way disallows us to switch between image providers.
This is because DecorationImage and the like use an equals check on their image provider.

As shown in error below, which was thrown when switching between an asset image and the firebase image:
