What leads you to that conclusion? From a quick look at LXR, "network.http.use-cache" is read by nsHttpHandler, while the other two prefs are read by the cache service. Without really looking into it further it would appear to me that they're not the same thing at all. Changing "network.http.use-cache" or changing both "browser.cache.disk.enable" and "browser.cache.memory.enable" may have the same observable effects if all you're looking at is caching behavior when visiting web sites using HTTP, but that doesn't mean they're redundant.
