In your case, simply restructuring your code was sufficient, however in a lot of cases it is not. I would like to see a more complete discussion on this. For me, the solution was to set absolute content expiration on the images, mixed with the preloading that Microsoft's article suggested. The catch was that if any image/css/js file on the page didn't have absolute content expiration on it - you're pretty much doomed.
