I wish Charles Schwab would be cached on my machine, it takes forever to load
the "At a Glance" page which is what I would really like as my default start
page.  I ended up changing to another default start page. The problem seems to
be when it fetches the "messages" which aren't messages at all but the Schwab
ads du jour.

that take 10 seconds.  With the cache it only took 6 seconds.
