Preload images for jQuery Cycle Plugin

Answer 1

...or if what you are experiencing is a pause between image transitions, add this argument to the cycle function. It makes cycle ignore non img content, such as whitespace and linebreaks, which can cause cycle to pause between transitions.

jQuery('.imageslideshow').cycle({
    slideExpr: 'img',
    // other options
});
