If this is a concern, you've made some very poor decisions.

What about large assets, like big splash images? Those can be quite a bandwidth hog.

EDIT: from the post, IE8 only downloads stylesheets twice. Nevermind.

It's cached by URL, so I would assume (but haven't tested) that a different protocol would be cached separately.
