How do I stop security checks for all files?

[Jim Lynch <jw...@sgi.com>]

I'm using the basic authentication scheme, 'cause I couldn't ever make
the user type work.  My pages just sat there and looped.  But I'm
running into a performance problem.  I have dozens of .gif files and
other things that get loaded with my page and it looks like it is
authenticating each of them and taking a bunch of time doing it.  THis
is from one of the log files.  I don't have the option of cutting down
the number of crappy files (gifs etc.) I have to load. 8(

This block is repeated dozens of times.  Is there any way I can avoid
all this checking for inconsequental files?

THanks,
Jim.
