This way, the OS/2 virtual memory system handles the caching to disk, which is a lot faster than Netscape's caching. Also, you don't get those long cache cleanups with large caches and many many small files. As always, your mileage may vary. Your best settings will depend on how much RAM your system has. ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
