The aim of caching is to make future activity faster; caching images
used on entry pages can't make first-time visits load quicker, only
later uses.

You can use client-side scripting to prompt the user agent into
downloading images before they're required (though whether they're
cached depends on user preferences), but if I understand your situation,
it can't help you here.

Your solution, as I see it, is to either use fewer images per page, or
compress the existing images further so they take less time to download.
