I am a bit confused by this bug submission. The way netscape 3-6 and IE work is 
the browser caches all images by the URL. The only time a browser retrieves the 
same images on subsequent pages is if the browser is set to download all images 
all the time. The way the samplers work, it will always retrieve all images 
once, since the images are added to a list. Duplicate images are not added. the 
images are then retrieved by the sampler. The sampler does not immitate a 
browser strictly, since a browser will launch multiple threads to get the 
images at the same time. This is specified in W3C's HTTP specification. HTTP1.0 
limits the number of concurrent connections to the same server to 4 and HTTP1.1 
limits it to 2 concurrent connections to the same server. If we really want to 
immitate browser behavior, you can achieve this without writing a new 
controller to cache the images. Simply make a separate thread group that gets 
the images. You should be able to figure this out by looking at the number of 
hits per page and comparing to the number of times each image is downloaded.
