  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.

      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.

          I clicked on your NYT link and my browser started up and the =

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.
