Cycle Images loaded with PHP cause unwanted delay between slides
in Using jQuery Plugins

I'm using PHP to load all the images in one folder and output them onto the page with img tags, using opendir and readdir. I'm using jquery cycle to turn the listed images into a slide show.
It works but there is a problem. When I use this method, there is about a 4 second delay between slides, where nothing is displayed. A slide fades out, about 4 seconds, the next slide fades in.
I've tried setting timeout to a negative number and that had no effect. I only have one other option, 'fx' set to 'fade' on and no other cycle options specified.
I tried just putting a few images from that folder into the slide div manually (no php) and it works normally, no delay, one slide fades into another, just like the default cycle plugin should.
Why would loading the list of images via php cause a delay between slides? I'd think if there was a problem it just wouldn't work at all. Since the images are being output and cycle is seeing them, it feels like a bug but I can't be the first person to encounter this. Is there any advice I can get without having to paste my code? Maybe there's a known issue but I was unable to find any reference to it.
