Maybe it's possible to set up a server with no redirects (might be a good idea for your content anyway, there's no need to redirect an image for design reasons, or it must be a lot smaller to save data transfer to a mobile device). You can set up something like nginx to make serving images blazing fast and do no redirects on that...
nginx is a brilliant server. If you don't want to learn how to configure another webserver (I've felt that way once but it was worth it to bite the bullet), you can also disable .htaccess and write the directives into the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default (varies by distro) file. Apache loads that file into the binary much the same way it absorbs PHP and other mods and offers considerable performance gains.

If you're just serving images and other static content, I'd recommend using Amazon S3. Or nginx, if you must have a traditional server. Out of the box, it performs much better than Apache2.
