I use something like this but with wrappers around the images like Vilu. You should never call LoadImage more than you need to is I think the short answer.

Type TimageLibrary Extends Tmap
Method get:Timage(path:String)
	Local o:Object = MapValueForKey(Self, path)
	If TImage(o) Return TImage(o)
EndMethod
Method open(path:String, frames:Int = 1) 
	Local i:Timage
	If frames > 1
		Local temp:Timage = LoadImage(path) 
		Local w:Int = ImageWidth(temp) 
		Local h:Int = ImageHeight(temp) 
		i = LoadAnimImage(path, w / frames, h, 0, frames)
	Else
		i = LoadImage(path)
	EndIf
	MapInsert(Self, path, i)
EndMethod
Method list:TMapEnumerator() 
	Return MapKeys:TMapEnumerator( Self )
EndMethod
EndType
