IE7 vs IE8 - number of requests made.

[bdmsavage]

Hi.

I'm a little new to this, so just taking my first steps into browser performance. I've noticed a significant performance hit when running in IE7 instead of IE8. When running the test's I noticed on repeat view that IE7 includes an extra set of requests to retrieve images and css files that are not requested in IE8. This seems to make up the time difference. Is there any reason why IE7 would make additional calls like this?

Thanks.
