OTOH as RISC OS lumbers into the 21st century with modern hardware that
cache comes into its own.

How about this from a Titanium :-

(75142.820000) content/llcache.c:3402 llcache_finalise: Backing store wrote
2590212 bytes in 1394 ms (average 1858114 bytes/second)

I haven't done anything scientific but my impression is that the cache is of
worthwhile benefit to NetSurf on the Titanium. (The Titanium has RISC OS on
an SSD via ADFS and SATA.)

HTH.
