Usefulness?
Authored by: Welles Goodrich on Nov 07, '02 10:47:36AM

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.)

History and cache are two different things.

The history is the backlog of URL's that you have visited within the time specified in the preferences. The history is then used to autocomplete URL's in
the URL bar.
