Everybody's needs are different. The size you choose for your cache
basically depends on how much, how frequently, and how many web sites
you visit. Are you a web junky? An infrequent visitor? Or only
frequent a few constantly changing sites?
I myself spend little time on the web. I only go there when I have a
specific purpose. I'm a Usenet junky -- 30 or so eclectic groups.
Plus I subscribe to about a half dozen or so mail lists. Used to
subscribe to an electronic newspaper clipping service -- about 100K
daily, but it got to be too much.
Lately, however, I've been on eBay bidding on items to flesh out a 300
MHz AMD MB and box I was given, that I'll install Linux on. Since
eBay changes daily, caching a particular page is pointless. By
tomorrow, it will be different. Many of the sites I visit change
daily or weekly. For that reason, and the fact that I may go weeks
without accessing the web, I run a small cache -- 8MB with a 15 day
expire option. Why waste disk space? For anything I want to save for
future reference, I do a "save as HTML."
