Stop preloading images

Hello,
I'm trying to get my site to run as fast and as efficiently as possible. I have run my site through websiteoptimisation.com and the HTTP requests are above 100 with Versatility IV (taking 20 secs over 1mpbs) and 200 with Mixxmag (taking 40secs..) . Even when I stripped the site to nothing - no menu or modules or text or pictures the HTTP requests remain the same. I think this is becuase the templates preload the css images regardless if they are being used or not.
I have seen other topics on trying to reduce the size of the mootools.js file but the prepackaged joomla mootools only takes a second to download which is irrelevant in comparison to the images
Is there a way to stop images from preloading or choose which ones are loaded as I hardly use any of them?

Brendan,
If you're not using the images then make sure they are removed from your css code. The site will still send out requests even if you deleted them from your server. Also, try turning on site caching in your global settings. -
