When webkit loads an offline webpage it first checks to see if the cache manifest has changed.
All page loading is paused while webkit fetches the new manifest and compares it to the old.
But even if the manifest has changed the previous version of the page is loaded, while the new cache is downloaded in the background.
Please can the manifest check be done asynchronously so that offline webpages display faster.
