That behaviour is different than I get by, say, browsing to
http://issues.bestpractical.com/index.html twice in a row, which more
accurately models what real users are doing.  When I do that, firebug
_does not_ reload any of those resources.

I appreciate the work you've done to look at RT's web peformance and you're right that we could improve first-page load further by squishing our javascript, but I don't think that your profiling is really giving you an accurate picture of how RT 3.8 does things.

Best,
