html parsing filter

Ok, I'll look into those modules mentioned, thanks!

And as far as caching those images/links goes, I need them
to be 
pre-loaded for the user that is viewing the html page, not
the other 
users after him. Sort of like pre-fetching the links in
advance, in case 
the user decides to visit any of them (in this case those
links being 
only images). Any suggestions on that?

mod_accessibility, mod_proxy_html, mod_publisher all filter
HTML and
generate SAX events for elements (such as links).

That doesn't make sense to me.  mod_cache would accomplish
the same
thing (for all but the first user, at least) far more simply
and robustly.

I doubt that there is a reasonable way to do this. You can
send the
images at the top of the page and then reposition them with
js or css,
but unless your pages are very big they will not arrive at
the client
much earlier.

I would suggest some timing tests with static pages (and
different
browsers).
