Eli,

Personally I see little point in configuring a large cache especially so
if a user is on broadband. There might be some justification for having a
larger cache, say 50MB if a user is on dial-up but then again I'm not sure
that even then there is much advantage in this since so many web pages are
frequently updated. Note also that Internet Explorer even has an option
to clear the cache when IE is exited - Tools | Internet Options | Advanced
where under Security there's a setting to empty TIF when the browser is
closed.

I doubt that you would experience any problems in setting TIF to 25MB or
even 5MB. I've never had any and would expect your experience to mirror
mine. Note also that having a small cache has never caused me problems
when using IE to download files significantly larger than the space
allocated to the cache.

Is there an optimal size for that cache? If I reset it from 50MB to
25MB, am I likely to have some problems in regular PC usage?

Thanks in advance:
