quick JS question

been trying to figure this out since different browsers/machines have been giving me different results..
if you have a javascript imageswap thing going on for a given page, but the images used for each state are already being used elsewhere in the page regardless (and thus are already loaded), does this make a JS preloader for those images irrelevant? (btw, i only have 2 images that toggle between each other at onClick)
i'm asking because on one computer the swap happens instantaneously but the other one (faster one in fact) is giving me a 1/4-second lag before the imageswap actually happens. would a preloader make it faster or would it have no effect?

did you tried and tested it with a js preloader to check if it would fix the problem?
did you empty the cache first?
depends on the code. are those images defined in the same way?
generally i would use a js preloader. wouldn't take any longer if it's already loaded and in the cache but from a coding point of view it's cleaner coding.
