Also note that the page claims that all should be there (a "Cache Hit!!!")
once you have visited the test site, but just hitting reload showed about 5
or 6 that still showed "Cache Miss" using netscape 4.76 (all default) on
Win2k  and as I keep hitting reload a different number and different sites
show "Cache Miss".
