Charles tells me that a visit to the Dashboard wants this link at least twice

http://jira.atlassian.com/styles/global.css

The resposne headers are :

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date Wed, 09 Sep 2009 05:51:58 GMT
Server Apache-Coyote/1.1
X-ASESSIONID 9z1vji
Content-Type text/css;charset=UTF-8
Vary Accept-Encoding
Content-Encoding gzip
Content-Length 1205

And hence its never cached.

Charles tells me that this adds aprprox 500 - 700 ms to the page download time. We should find out why.
