Folks,
Thanks again for the suggestions. Kind of spooky because the initial
image load had been bugging me and then I came back to find these posts.
Maybe some kind of CSS ESP going on or something ;-)
Excellent - many thanks again to all.

2) Preload the hover-state images by marking them up on the page in a
way that doesn't show -- such as shifting them off-screen with a
large negative margin-left in CSS. By the time the page finishes
loading, they will already be in cache and will appear
immediately. One small disadvantage here is that your page might
contain semantically unnecessary markup to support these image
preloader elements.
3) Preload the hover-state images with javascript. Disadvantages are
the additional clutter of the script itself and the fact that
preloading won't happen when scripting is disabled.
4) Use CSS:
a:link,a:visited {background:url(up_image.gif) no-repeat 0
50%;background-image:url(down_image.gif)}
a:hover,a:active,a:focus {background-image:url(up_image.gif)}
