The image doesn't actually "slide" out, It is instantaneous. Only the position changes in the css. It is as quick as a color change on regular roll overs.

And example is here:

www <dot> chicagophoto <dot> net/sandra/ (sorry, don't want a link)

The horizontal menu uses this method.

The vertical menu has a styled <ul> with background image while the <li> links use a color change.
