A javascript image object will not save you anything in this case. The browser will cache the image the first time it is loaded and then retrieve it from the cache any time it is referenced on the page. Javascript will not help your page load speed for this issue.
Fewer images or smaller images will help. If you have lots of different images, they can sometimes be combined into a single sprite and then load faster.
