You can change the batch size to load multiple assets at the same task in the same task.

const task = new LoadImageTask({
  assets: [
    'path/to/image-1.jpg', 
    'path/to/image-2.jpg',
    'path/to/image-3.jpg',
    'path/to/image-4.jpg',
    'path/to/image-5.jpg',
  ],
  // The size of a batch, this is how many requests happen at the same time
  batchSize: 5,
})

task.load();

Or do you mean you would like to be able to load different tasks simultaneously?

@larsvanbraam yeah. for example I have a large video and a bunch of images, it doesn't start loading images until the video is done. It would be great to have a global parallel setting which allows multiple different tasks simultaneously.

@larsvanbraam also, instead of a batch option, a parallel option would be good, too. The batch option loads N items and waits until they are all done before the next batch starts. A parallel option would always be loading N items simultaneously, starting a new load as soon as one is complete.
