Actually, the Universal Feed Parser (upon which all versions of Planet 
are based) actively strips object tags:

I'm sorry that I don't know how to make the Coral CDN faster or more 
reliable, but if the problem is that it takes longer the first time an 
image is ever referenced, perhaps it would make sense for the filter to 
fetch the image?  This would make the planet run take longer, but that's 
generally a background process.

Thoughts?
