You probably have about 100ms more lag cause of the distance. Cache will =
still be slow if you have lag because it's still got to resolve and = check the
linked graphics and such before it can match them up with the = cache.

     It can't get any faster than the network traffic.  I'm at least 15 =

closer.  Since all the downloads are small latency matters more = than
throughput which is why with everything cached it still took six = seconds for

    I just clicked and counted, 1...2...3..finished

    I'm serious though, set your cache to 1mb, purge it, go to that =
/content.ie5 directory and purge it as well then give it a try.

         You can't compare two machines connected to different networks =

         Did you measure the 4 seconds by counting or measuring?  I used =
a network capture with timestamps for all the packets.  The time I = reported
is from the first request to the last request.  I should have = included the
last response so my numbers, which I rounded down to whole = seconds, would

        I clicked on your NYT link and my browser started up and the =
page came up in less than 4 seconds total. Perhaps instead of an empty = cache
you should try it with your cache set to 1mb.

             Because the cache still has a very significant performance =
benefit and even with DSL speeds pages take far longer than a blink to =
appear.  For example, I just tried www.nytimes.com with an empty cache.  =
There are 86 HTTP requests that take 10 seconds.  With the cache it only = took
6 seconds.

             Your ideas on DNS are equally silly, particularly because =
DNS is explicitly a multi-level cache.

            When I was on dialup, 5mb seemed like a good cache (50 =
munutes to download
            5mb), because cache made a difference. On todays DSL =
connected computers,
            nothing but the previous 4 or so pages should be cached, =
it's just a huge
            waste since it only takes a blink to bring up a page on DSL. =
Why todays
            browsers continue this outdated practice and don't sense the =
connection
            speed and adjust accordingly is beyond me.

            It's the same logic as the DNS client cache, both these =
caching functions
            create limited problems from time to time, the goal should =
be to get away
            from problematic methods and go for reliability. Of course =
that's a concept
            that's foreign to most programmers today, they are blind to =
the idea of
            dropping an obsolete function and would rather waste time =
trying to cure the
            problems it creates.
