I know, but it would signifigantly enhance the experience, as well as the network performance. As the node automtically cached X links in from the bookmarked pages, they would spread across the network, And they would be pre-loaded into the local datastore, so they would come up quickly. It would make it much less painful to start using freenet. It would make a signifigant number of requests out, so it would help a node to become known, and it would make loading the initial pages decently fast. Because it would work on the user-set bookmark pages, the user would have a chance to help spread their favourite sites every day.
The default pages (and others) would also thus become very well spread, ncreasing the performance for people who do not choose to pre-fetch. It's just a quick thought, but I do think it would help the spread of information. Because of the CSK files, you wouldn't need to worry about loop detection, except as a speed optimization. If you got into a loop, it would just request the files, get them from the local datastore, and then return them back. Because of that, the code would likely be very easy..
