Caching Images used with the Image Button Control

[GUIGUY7]

I am trying to optimize a page that renders 5 small icons per case that is pulled back from a data request. When there are a large number of cases pulled and rendered in rows on the screed there are also a set of icons fetched and rendered.

Is there a way to pre-load the images and bypass the ImageUrl property so that the set 5 icons is only fetched once with an instance of the fecthed icon rendered with each row.


Suggestions Anyone?
