I think possibly the simplest solution is to have it as <iframe>s. This way it's basically the same as an <img> slideshow, and also latency should be almost 0 since you load the script and the first <iframe src="" />, and since each <iframe> page should be tiny (just text, an image, and standard xhtml tags) it's both modular and low bandwidth.
