Ravindra, In general, if you soft refresh a page in IE (pressing F5 for example), it will send 'if-modified-since' requests to the server for all the sub-elements of the page (images etc). This will normally cause the server to respond with a 304 - not modified. Thus the refresh loads the server very little. JMeter will normally load every part of the page twice if the sampler is set to retrieve the page elements.
If you hard refresh a page in IE (Ctrl F5) then it behaves a lot more like JMeter. However, IE is notoriously bad at actually bothering to reload stuff, so there is always likely to be some different. To ensure a true reload, install the MS IE Developer's tool bar, turn off IE's cache using it and then refresh.
