No, but I always have many, many tabs open, and disk cache can not
replace memory cache. Furthermore, when I have plenty of memory, why
force Seamonkey to use the disk cache if I can give it plenty of memory?
Decades ago when I started in the IT, I already learned that giving
applications plenty of memory really helps to speed up things. I once
replaced a computer system (not x86) by another one that was basically
the same. Just slightly faster CPUs and more memory. I set everything up
to do as much as possible in memory, and the thing went 11 times faster
than it predecessor.

I'm using the 64 bit builds of WG9s.
I'm very happy with them in general.
However, after installing a new version of 2.49.5 a short while
ago, I experienced some weird problems like keystrokes that
became garbled, very sluggish responses etc. A new upgrade to 2.53
didn't help, so I tried to figure out what might be the cause.
Then I had a hunch, and I checked the config file for the browser
cache setting. It was just about 0.5 GB, and I'm sure it was much
bigger.
I've now increased browser.cache.memory.capacity to 2 GB
(2097152), and all problems are gone.
After increasing browser.cache.memory.capacity to 4 GB (4194304),
the browser runs even more smoothly. Nice.
What's the difference with the "let SM manage the size of my cache"
preference?
That is the disk cache, so files on disk, I'm talking about the
memory cache, in RAM.
