Here's a solution that worked for me: In the HTML, add an image tag near the top of the BODY section, and give the SRC attribute the path to the image to preload, with width=1, height=0 to hide it. The width makes sure the image is requested as soon as the browser gets to this point in the page. Use an empty ALT value. If this interferes with your layout, additionally put the image(s) for preloading in a DIV and position that DIV "absolute" with a large negative LEFT value. There are likely downsides to this, but so far I have not come across any.
