As a KDE4.3 user with 1TB of disk, I'm way more annoyed at kio_http_cache_cleaner starting regularly and eating my computer's I/O than the HTTP cache growing big. I can easily notice when the the cache cleaner is running from the HD light, the HD noise, and the general system lag. There *has* to be a better way to clean an HTTP cache than to stat every single file in the cache to then delete a tiny fraction of them. Someone told me 4.4 improved in this area, but I don't know specifics, and remain skeptical. -- Nicolas (I read mailing lists through Gmane.
