jQuery changing <img> src with $(selector).prop takes a long time

[idc]

So there's no issue with this code functionality itself. I have something like this:\[code\]<div> <div><img id="imageToChange" src="http://stackoverflow.com/path/image.png" /></div> <div id="textToChange">Text</div></div>\[/code\]I have another part of my code, that changes the image src/text with jQuery.\[code\]function changeImage() { $('#imageToChange').prop('src', '/path/image2.png'); $('#textToChange').html('New Text');}\[/code\]As you may expect, this works exactly as I expect it to. But with 1 quirk.In all the main browsers (chrome/FF/IE). The image takes a long time to change.So for example, when I call changeImage(), the text will change instantly, but the image may not change until 1-2 seconds later. (Not large images by any stretch, about ~6KB, and local)I haven't found anyone else really complaining about it, but what I'm wondering is if there's any way to speed up the changing of the image src? Perhaps a better way to do it?This is jquery 1.8.0 as well.Thanks
