Using RISC OS on a RiscPC, with a slow internet connection, and Cache enabled, I found that launching half a dozen stories from Google News caused the machine to be virtually unusable for half an hour, or more. Judging by the hard-drive activity light, Cache writes to disc on the fly. However, if it were to postpone writing until NetSurf was quit, the delay would occur then. Either way, inconvenient. Tony
