For a normal refresh IE will just check if the page has been updated (using If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match). If the websever reports the content as unchanged IE uses the locally cached version.
With Ctrl-F5 IE doesn't send any info about the last version of the page it recieved so it will always download fresh content.
