Show/hide layers stalls animated gif

Just wondering if anyone has encountered this problem and found a solution.

I am using DHTML to show/hide layers on mouseover events. When I mouseover all the animaed gifs of a graphically intensive page stop for the period until the layer's visibility is changed. ie 1 second. This pause is unnacceptable to me.

Does anyone know of a show/hide layers script which doesnt slow the browser down? I also tried a script that set the text of layers instead of changing visibility of layers, but this was even slower.

thanks!
