Is there any reason to instruct print operators, when printing in InDesign on Mac OS, to link all raster images to FPO, but manually link vector files to HIGH?

I thought that, given an InDesign layout with a variety of linked images, you should just use PictureWrangler to link all images to FPO and (when prompted)use the "Optimize..." command in PictureWrangler to deal with images that need to be linked to HIGH because of issues like transparency interaction.>>>

My understanding of FullPress FPO is that once an image is loaded onto an FPO-enabled volume, a low-res image is generated in the resource fork of the given image file to be used as a placeholder in InDesign or Quark. I also thought this was true for both raster and vector image files. During printing then the FullPress server swaps in the full-resolution images and speeds up the proces. If this is all true, does it make sense to tell operators to only link tiff and jpeg images to FPO?
