Unlikely to make any difference; that favicon is fetched due to the
web search provider functionality.
I was meaning to look at caching favicons within URLdb a while back -
I think there may be benefits to that (we can call up favicons for
treeviews for instance). They'd still need to be refreshed of course,
but I don't think the search provider needs to grab the absolute
latest favicon - the last time it was fetched would be fine.
That would solve this issue anyway. A disk cache would also solve it,
but I'm not sure if that would allow us to associate bookmarked or
history URLs with favicons?
