I have trebled the cache here and this morning have been browsing a forum
site onto which users load unnecessarily large photographs. The reloading
of these pictures used to take so long on Netsurf that I preferred to use
a Windows browser when I visited it. Although still a little slower than
the Windows browser I can now happily use NetSurf with so much being
preserved between sessions. Thank you.
