FYI: The cache, was only one possible bottle neck,
You may know that a bottle neck remains until you widen the neck, if no improvement comes from widening a particular neck, it was most likely not the bottle neck. The Biggest bottle neck on my computer was the RAM the browsers could use, Most browsers have a fixed upper limit on the RAM (Not RAM Cache) they will use so that people do not complain about there impact on the desktop in question (opening multiple instances may differ). Increasing the RAM available to Chrome and Fire Fox had the biggest effect, it may not be yours. However since the latest FireFox each tab seems to have its own memory with plenty of overhead. I recommend the latest browsers with TiddlyServer or Using TiddlyDesktop or NodeJS (Raw form of two previous). If you do use node JS, accessing via a Browser address (not file open) the save issues are not present, and every tiddler is in a single file, so I believe you can have much larger TiddlyWikis without the performance hits.
