Interesting and clearly true, but I had never heard that recommendation
previously.
Not clearly true.
try this:
Open SeaMonkey & click on tools / web development / toggle tools
select the network tab + the All tab below that
visit http://blog.patrickmeenan.com/2011/10/testing-for-frontend-spof.html
see what gets loaded & look at # requests, data xfer size & time on
the all/html/css/etc. tab
visit http://fasterdata.es.net/science-dmz/DTN/tuning/
see what gets loaded & how long it takes
click on the back button
see what gets loaded & how long it takes
click on the forward button
see what gets loaded & how long it takes
WTF!?
click on the GET /science-dmz/DTN/tuning line & notice the response header of
Cache-Control:"no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate, no-transform"
paste "http://blog.patrickmeenan.com/2011/10/testing-for-frontend-spof.html";
into the URL bar
see what gets loaded & how long it takes
I understand that "little benefit" can mean different things to

how many entries have a fetch count > 1 ?

I tried visiting reddit & opened 4 threads in new tabs, so there was

about:cache?storage=disk&context= shows

downloading 500KB instead of 2.5MB is not my definition of "little benefit"

All of those links open so fast I can't count.
