But if two pages have the same resource URLs for their css, js, etc they should be cached by the browser so moving from page to page shouldn't be reloading them.

This does not seem like a super great idea, like merry-christmas mentioned too much like ASP.NET.

I'll do some reading on turbolinks and see if there's something super I'm missing.



I did some speed tests here: https://github.com/steveklabnik/turbolinks_test

Apparently, even though the browser doesn't re-download the assets, it does re-parse and re-execute all of it. Which makes sense. This is where Turbolinks adds the speedup.
