I noticed this when I was looking at mapfish, but ultimately it's OpenLayers. As a session in an OL map progresses, cached images build up in the browser. In a tiled map with many layers and fractionalzoom on this can get up into the many hundreds quite fast.
I don't know if this adversely affects the browser performance (probably depends on how the browser handles cached files). Is there a way to limit the number of images OL caches? Is it worth worrying about? ----- William Kyngesburye <kyngchaos*at*kyngchaos*dot*com> http://www.kyngchaos.com/ "We are at war with them.
