Arrays are stored in memory, they are not a cookie so they do not get stored on the client machine .. (and you yourself say that even if it was its not cross browser)
To test .. Do 100 requests with large responses and save them all into an array and see how much memory the web browser is eating each time you do one... In fact the actal request stays in memory unless you null the object - i wrote a post on this in TJ's proto scripty wiki which has test cases to prove it. I dont see any reason ever to save the response of multiple requests in an object that is saved in memory of the client's browser .... what happens if they are on an iPhone or somehting with not alot of memory ?
