Two ideas:

1. go with Vincent's suggestion.

2. keep the images in (so you see them in your editor) but have some
javascript which runs on page start up which resets each of the images to
blank before explicitly loading each one. Sounds daft I know, but it means
that the visitor won't have to wait for all the images to load and you can
then control the load order AND it means that a visitor without JavaScript
enabled will still see the images. (Is that clear?) You may have to play
with it to see how practical this is.
