It seems to firm up that prefetching is the basic architecture of the accelerator. That's interesting, because their online tutorial states it (optionally, but recommended) does an IMS on a page before it loads it. I think prefetching, in addition to the limitations mentioned at the link above, is a bad idea - it's wasteful in the case of large sites (and they are many) using more disk space than necessary, and uses more bandwidth in the background than it should; if at all this really is the design.
