It is nowhere near 62 unique images. Most are just repeats of a few
things like the spacer images. And our headers are:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 04:11:45 GMT
Expires: Wed, 14 May 2003 04:11:45 GMT
Last-Modified: Tue, 13 May 2003 02:41:18 GMT
Connection: close
Content-type: image/png
Server: Fred 0.5 (build 593) HTTP Servlets
This should allow all browsers to cache it.
It is probably simply that your browser a) has caching disabled, and b)
is not smart enough to coalesce requests for the same image i.e. to
cache it long enough to render it all over the page. Simply enable a
small (like one megabyte) cache in the browser, regardless of it being
cached upstream by the node or the proxy or whatever, and it will only
download the images once each.

As I said, 62 connections is silly.
