I'm working on a web-portfolio function that cycles through a lot of large images that, even optimized for the web, take longer to load than I would like. What is the most reliable/efficient method to preload images in the background?

I am working in php with CSS and (wherever possible) standards compliant XHTML 1.0 Transitional, but I'm relatively new to php. Does php offer any clever new tricks on preloading images?
