i think it's okay to load images that are just not visible at the beginning
(icons for js flash messages for example) but loading images that are
overwritten by another property declaration is unneeded.
maybe i'm wrong but i've never seen something like this in js: 
removing a second property declaration in order to make the first declaration
used by the browser to render the page.
