Possible to load background jpg before CSS is read?

My PPV landers are taking longer to load than I'd like and it's mostly because of the jpg that I use as a background. I've reduced the file size as much as possible, but it's still taking about 400ms to load, after the CSS file is read. Is there any way to make the browser start loading my background at the same time as the CSS instead of after?
 


You could put some javascript in an include before the css to load the image then it should be in the browser cache so would load as the css is displayed? How bigs the image?
 
I'm rotating a few images that range from 17-27kb. How does an include work? I'm a coding n00b so I apologize for the dumb question.
 
Code:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

var img1=new Image()
image1.src="YourBG.jpg"

</script>
</head>

^ should do it.. this simply preloads the jpg into the users cache so you just continue to carry on with the rest of your code as usual.
