Hi,
as Darin Fisher requested feedback in n.p.m.announce for the new cache -
here you go. I've been using it for three days now on a RH 6.2 box and
since yesterday it's pretty good. Especially
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66940
seems to be gone now. Performance on page reloads improved
substantially.
One thing that's not quite right: pages with lots of images don't load
all of them the first time. If you do a "reload", then you usually get
all of them (similar to bug 68151). I've recompiled mozilla with the old
cache and the effect is much less visible. Build ID 2001031509, UTC
time.
(BTW, my cache preference is to compare "once per session").
Another thing: frequently changing pages like news tickers don't get the
latest page reloaded. Even when I set the cache policy to "every time I
view the page", a new visit (per typed URL or bookmark) doesn't refresh
the page. Context menu "reload" also doesn't work. Only Shift+Reload
button gets the updated page. You might want to look into that.
But thanks for "fixing" 66940 ;-)
Cheers, Nils
