Usefulness?
I don't mean this sarcastically; I mean this as an honest, "I don't know so I'll ask" question.
Usefulness?
I believe that the main benefit for broadband users would be cutting down on disk fragmentation. The amount a cache occupies isn't that big if you are using Navigator .6 and have your clear history cache set to one or two days. In fact, if you set the history cache to 0 days I wonder if that would do the same as adding this preference? (Nevertheless I added this to my preference file and am appreciative of the tip.)
Usefulness?
History and cache are two different things.
Usefulness?
From a web developer's point a view, it's useful to set your cache to zero so you know you're always seeing the latest versions of pages, graphics, etc. From a regular user's point of view, I guess it's mostly about disk usage...
A Little Honesty
Come on now, we all know it's all about hiding the porn :) Disk cache is something else you have to remember when covering your tracks.
A Little Honesty
Well, yes, another reason one might disable the cache would be to cover their browsing tracks...
if chimera crashes...
it won't work for me until i delete the disk cache. which can take a lot of time if you never clean it out (i AM forgetful). |
