The other requests will be considered as data since no limit on the data transfer is set. For instance, in your logs, you will see that your first request took a huge amount of time and transferred a huge amount of bytes.

That's a better method indeed! I should even add this to the documentation, it's more logical than other examples, and I like it.

If you need to exclude a path, proceed that way :

        acl url_static   path_beg         /static
        acl url_exclude  path_beg         /static/exclude
        acl file_static  path_end         .gif .png .jpg .css .js
        use_backend static if url_static !url_exclude or file_static

(by default, a logical "and" is performed after the "if"). If you need to exclude a path in which .jpg files should still be dynamic :

        acl url_static   path_beg         /static
        acl file_static  path_end         .gif .png .jpg .css .js
        acl path_exclude path_beg         /dynamic/images
        use_backend static if url_static or !path_exclude file_static
