On Mac/10.5 javafx.com takes 40-50s to load with no JavaFX runtime installed.

This seem to happen because both applet-launcher.jar and javafx-rt*jar are loaded 5 (!) times each.

This likely could be explained by bug in the JRE that does not cache redirected resources correctly.
At least i see that these jars are being served from CDN, i.e. redirects are happening.

This has to be fixed for next patch release.

Note that scope of problem is not clear - it might be not just MacOS 10.5. This need to be investigated.
