The cache I'm refering to is part of Netscape Navigator, and I think it is designed to hold pages so you can come back to them later. It's speed is determined by the time for the hard disk to record the data. There is a noticable lag where I can hear the hard disk clicking after accessing a new web page- this is a function of the disk itself. There is also a switch for holding pages in memory, and since i have 40 MB RAM, I increased this a bit.(memory cache is much faster than hard disk cache) I was getting a lot of crashes before, apparently because of new pages before the hard disk had time to digest the old ones. I"m not an EE, so some of the above may be wrong. If so, I'm sure someone will correct me. However, I assure you that the end result was that my problem was solved by making these changes.. Cable modems are so fast (when everything is working OK) that they have to be seen to be believed. @Home also keeps a lot of sites on their server, and when you request one of these it is instantaneous.
