Note that if you don't have access to your server's http.conf file, you 
can add these lines to your .htaccess file and the flicker should stop:
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/gif A18000
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A18000
ExpiresByType image/png A18000

It's working for me on one of my sites.

This page gives a good summary of why it happens and the CSS 
workarounds, if you absolutely can't get the server-side solution to work:
