Lucius, re <disk cache>. The reason your browser is slowing down with disk cache enabled is the size of your cache. Netscape Navigator uses single directory structure for cache. When it is bigger than 3-5 Mbytes, it may contain several hundred of cached web files. With FAT16 (you probably are using it), the cache directory become a big branched tree (hidden for you). When combined with some problems with write cacheability of Windows95, the cache search through this linked-list directory become a lengthy task (for disk drive), and that's why you have noticed that disk clicking sound. Keep the size of your cache at about 1MB, and some speed problems will be gone. 1MB is usually enough to keep these temporal web files for two days. Sorry for such a lengthy explanation, but such is WinDOS life... Ali.
