I'm sure Vince will correct me here, but I believe NetSurf saves the cache files to disk when they are downloaded (as opposed to when they are evicted from the memory cache), so you will get a delay as NetSurf gets busy saving the files. If you've gone back to the same site though most of the files should be loading from disk and I wouldn't expect any additional delay. You will need to post a log file so we can get a handle on exactly what is causing the pauses. > Looking in !Cache, which is in !Boot.!Resources, I find that in the > Caches.Default.NetSurf directory there are currently 1933 files, > totalling 22449384 bytes.
