i love that!

Bamse:
Our cache code is ancient and sucks. The cache files get fragmented immediately and severely. They are accessed in insane patterns and they get laid out insanely on disk. There are some efforts to improve the code, but I suspect that’s equivalent to putting lipstick on a pig.

Looks even better. Opensource = open mouthed :)

Open up about:config and use a vacuum filter, (make sure it's HEPAw rated - wouldn't want any nasty bugs getting into Firefox):



To convert from RBN1 to normal time, go here:



That's the last time the database was vacuumed.

This is valid for Firefox 4 but may also be valid for 3.6.

Then you need a bigger closet.  :)

It kind of invalidates Bamse' claim that they incorporated it in 3.5/3.6 - not that I set out to do that, just it seemed an easy way of checking whether it was enabled or not.

EDIT: I think my spell checker must be borked, it's letting some simple things through. :-\
