That would be dependent upon your settings, if it's checking to see if =
anything changed then it has to have info on all the things that might = have
changed including ad graphics and such.

You do have your cache settings so that it checks each time you go to a = site,
don't you?

    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 hops from the nyt.  If their servers are on the east cost you will be = much
closer.  Since all the downloads are small latency matters more = than
throughput which is why with everything cached it still took six = seconds for
me.

        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.

             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 =

            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.
