I generally have it running on my desktop, mainly because I like to analyse my own browsing habits via calamaris (and I set all hard disk browser caches on all user accounts to 0 MB). Cache hit rate is very low, generally around 2-3% and speed up is also in the single digits, occasionally going negative. But again, it can be just the result of my browsing habits. nicolás -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFweSYmjsZS9ZBxv8RAu6MAJ9sQ9skkN5E7lUn91OkDsSIZafy7wCfYrcf SPZ+CxwBQbsmwDiLdbpd36w= =Qktp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
