If they REALLY want all those images you could either do a preloader which
make the loading time appear shorter than it actually is (the best example
still is the preload at yugop.com, he should add a "skip site and go back
to preloader" button). Another possible solution is not to care about
people with slow connections. Thats what i had to do when i made the intro
for a bmw m3 special (http://195.27.218.10/bmwe/products/automobiles/m3/)
... After working on the intro for a week (7 days 10 hrs a day) i didn't
really have any good idea for a preloader anymore.
