Yes they are. My network icon was flashing because I had my cache turned off
for some testing. With the cach turned off the image is reloaded from the
host on every mouseover.
With the cache turned on the image is still reloaded, but from the cache.
If you don't believe me then switch on firebug, the Net tab, and watch the
requests pile up. There is a network request for *every* mouseover.

Right down the bottom, see 10 megabytes of download? Not that it really
matters I suppose, if it's coming from the cache.
