Object variance can affect that. 5 requests is the best-case scenario for a single static object representation. What are the reply headers coming back with the object? Here are the response coming back that I've captured from fiddler using my browser.

What are these lines? Here is the section with the header_access rules minimum_expiry_time 30 seconds cache_vary on header_access X-Powered-By deny all header_access X-AspNetMvc-Version deny all header_access X-AspNet-Version deny all header_access Server deny all via off Amos
