One possibility is that you have Keep-Alive enabled and it is not working properly. I've seen this before. The browser establishes it's maximum number of connections to your server (typically 6) to download the first few files (CSS, JS etc.) then those connections are not released until they time out. My symptoms were not quite the same as yours - the timeout was 20 seconds and everything would load in batches of 6 after that - but this could still be the cause.

In your Apache configuration (httpd.conf on most systems), look for the KeepAlive line (or add it if it's missing) and set it to Off.
