Your answer inspired me to run one of today's downloaded URLs when offline and change the browser setting from "show only cached images" to "show all images". And, of course you were right. The images may not have been in the Opera cache; but they could all be fetched from the WWWOFFLE cache. So, maybe the observed speed increase relates merely to the time taken to draw the images on the computer screen? > Hmmm, perhaps wwwoffle should pay attention to browser generated > request headers as an additional filter of what else not to get. > Perhaps wwwoffle would then be '100% standards compliant"?
