Wouldn't you get the same effect with old-fashioned javascript rollovers if you have caching turned off?
I remember the first attempt I made at doing rollovers using the dreamweaver behaviour, I couldn't figure out how come it worked beautifully on my local machine but not on the web. Till I realised I had caching turned off and the images were loading every time.

(although I don't see a delay, I know it's loading a fresh copy of the image when the firewall winks at me every time I roll over tabs on the Fast Company web site.) Here's a real purdy looking tutorial from Dan Cedarholm, note the comments bring up this very issue. http://www.simplebits.com/archives/2003/09/30/accessible_imagetab_rollovers. html I agree with Peter, it's a clean way to handle roll-overs. And the majority of users might have caching turned on. Otherwise if you follow the link at the bottom of the Pixy tutorial, there's a simple band-aid.
