What's the advantage of loading very fast if contents are outdated? You have to manually load again to get the current contents, which is not only slower than revalidating the resources, but also very confusing. It happens to me every day, I have to manually reload all the bugzilla tabs I have opened to see new comments/reviews and post my comments. Fortunately I know there are new contents thanks to the bug mail.

I prefer to avoid adding an API option for this if possible.
