Same here. When it would fail, I'd have to clear the ccache and do it again which cost me time not saved it. After several problems, I disabled the thing, uninstalled it and deleted all the ccache. Unless a whole lot of people say it is much better now, I have no plans to try it again. I still want to buy me a 8 core CPU tho. I also want a new drive and to upgrade to 32GBs of ram too. That would likely improve speed more than ccache plus it gives me more wiggle room when editing photos with GIMP, using LO, multiple profiles of Firefox running etc etc etc. It starts to slow down a bit when I get to about 14GBs or so in use. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
