Oliver is correct.

The Page Cache will never be able to make *leaving a page* any faster. But it can make *returning* to a page instantaneous.

This is a Good Thing™

I think we're all agreeing with each other. At least, this is what I was trying to agree with when I said "Yes, that's completely accurate".

At some point when I wasn't paying close attention, this thread started to talk about two different things that both happened to be related to unload handlers.

I think:
1 - We all agree that the Page Cache is good
2 - We all agree that when a page has XHR in its unload handler and spins a busy loop, that makes leaving the page slower. 3 - We all agree that moving that XHR from unload to pagehide would not make leaving the page any faster.

I think https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29193 is completely orthogonal to the issue of improving what types of pages can go into the Page Cache.
