[tor-talk] memory cached pages should reload instantly-but DON'T

[Joe Btfsplk <joebtfsplk@xxxxxxx>]

If I understand, TBB disables disk cache & has memory cache enabled.  
This is the way I do it w/ Fx, because I've got lots of RAM & it's much 
faster than disk.  Normally, going back to a page already visited in Fx 
is almost instantaneous.  Definitely NOT the case in latest stable TBB - 
or ever.

In TBB, browser.cache.memory.enable is set True.  I've got 8 GB, so by 
default I believe Fx would allow ~ 32,000 KB.   I even added the entry 
in TBB about:config, browser.cache.memory.capacity & set it higher than 
32,000 KB.  That entry may be deprecated - dunno. It's still slow 
reloading pages - ones I  looked at 5 sec ago.

What is TBB doing or what is the difference that makes it so slow in 
reloading cached pages compared to regular Fx?  Should have nothing to 
do w/ slow Tor network or relays.  On a machine like this w/ very fast 
CPU, plenty of free RAM & a good graphics card, why should reloading 
recent pages be any slower in TBB than Fx?

Thanks.
