I am talking about firefox's xserver cache, so it can't be done with squid, 
and it will kill your thin client *every time*. Quite ordinary sites use all 
the ram eg gallery in slideshow mode. On my site 127 photos eates 256M on the 
thin client. Every time picture 127 == dead client!
Google is your friend. (firefox memory usage)
