I just click the regular reload (hitting r in vimperator) but with
Firebug's network window open. I think you might be on to something
though, because Firebug probably needs to do a full reload in order to get
proper stats on each of the files.

I've attached the headers for my RT 3.8.5 instance as well as your
issues.bestpractical.com. It looks like the reason why I'm getting these
"304 Not modified" on the 3.8.5 instance is that Apache adds ETags to the
responses.

But regardless of whether or not ETags are present, in a normal setting,
the browser will probably not re-request these files (due to the caching
headers set by RT) and so all you'll be getting once you're past the first
screen is the HTML of each page.

Cheers,
Francois
