Remove page flicker in IE8

In this pet project of mine I have two large background images. Unfortunately this means that IE will display a nasty page flicker on each request. I used to get rid of this with the a metatag that looks like this:

   <!--[if IE]>
       <meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="blendTrans(Duration=0.0)" />
   <![endif]-->

For some reason however, this doesn't work in IE8 with cached pages. Use this tag instead and it all works fine again.

   <!--[if IE]>
       <meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="Alpha(opacity=100)" />
   <![endif]-->
