 Since upgrading to .9b2, I've noticed a lot of failures loading images and
 stylesheets in the Trac interface.  These failure seems to be timeout
 related, because when they occur, it takes a long time to load the request
 Trac page (upwards of 30 seconds).

 In .8, it was my understanding that Trac used non-CGI mapped URL to serve
 up its static assets, but in .9, it appear that the asset URLs now get
 served back through the CGI URL.

 My guess is that Trac is now serving up its static files directly through
 the CGI handler and may be doing something incorrectly (like maybe not
 closing the HTTP output stream or setting the content-length handler?)
 which is causing the browser to think the file contents are not finished
 being served, so keeps waiting for more content to arrive before it
 finally times out.

 I have reproduced these results in both IE and Firefox.
