From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5+) Gecko/20011022 BuildID: 2001102210 Mozilla reloads over and over the same image when it is used multiple times on a page instead of loading it once, recognising that further requests are for the same image (via the URL of that image) and reusing the image that was already loaded as many times as necessary. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Flood your link (so that you can watch) 2.Go to the above page, load it at least once 3.Hit shift-reload 4.Watch as the many stars are drawn slowly and painfully, one by one. (You can skip 3 I guess but I'm just laying out the steps as I did them... and you can probably skip flooing your link. I was downloading mozilla over my 56k modem at the time and so the effect was most pronounced.) Actual Results: The green stars, marking a final mark for a DVD, are drawn very slowly as if each one were loaded over and over again. When looking at the image list in the page info window you can see many entries for the same image. Expected Results: Each image gets loaded once regardless of the number of times it gets used on the page. When an image IS reused, mozilla should reuse the already loaded version instead of going off for another round. Memory cache at 4meg Disk cache at 50meg 'Compare the page in the cache to the page on the network' was set to 'automatically' The little mozilla theme was used. The system is linux 2.4.12-ac5 with Debian Woody.
