Hmm.. I should do a test using a network sniffer instead of Firebug
(it is possible that Firebug is the culprit). Firebug shows both CSS
and JS files loading one at a time, never in parallel. It also shows
them loading again and again even though their expires headers are set
(Fiddler on IE does not show the same thing). I should turn Keep-Alive
off just to factor that out, and retest. But I'm having a frustrating
time getting Firefox to cache these files, and since it doesn't, I'm
always noticing that the CSS files are not loaded simultaneously. As
with the JS files. I expect them to be interpreted in order of course,
I'm just talking about using bandwidth to help the overall page load
speed.

I'll test that out, thanks!
