Less disk activity while you browse.

  • The disk cache is written only when you quit (Settings > General, "Write it to the disk only at quit", on by default). What comes while you browse is held in memory: as much as the cache's size and a quarter of the memory free (about 30 MB with 128 MB TT RAM). Quitting writes it all, with Closing EWeb's bar, so quit takes longer after a long session; only after about 22 MB of new pages (on a Falcon with 128 MB TT RAM) is some of it written while idle. Untick it to have the cache written a little at a time while idle, as before. What was cached in a session that ends in a crash or a reset isn't on the disk.
  • A page's pictures are kept decoded, without their original files. A picture is known by its address; the disk holds the screen's copy only. Measured on three pages of 24 photos: 7.5 MB written before, 1.5 MB now; a page read back on a revisit 2.1 MB before, 0.45 MB now. A picture wanted at a size or in colours not kept is fetched again.
  • Cookies, history and bookmarks are unchanged.

To update: replace the folder's files with these.
