Netscape 4.04 seems to handle memory caching of webpages _woefully_. Whenever I run NS4 with a memory cache size set above 0, it invariably dies after an hour of browsing or less, complaining about being out of memory (despite the fact that free swap space remains on the machine). This problem was noticed by others some time late last year, and since then I had been running with memory (and disk) caches set to 0kb (and pointing my browser to an apache web-cache I installed locally) but when I recently gave it some of its' own memory cache again I'm seeing the same thing. I'd be interested to hear of any other fixes to this problem which dont impact so much on performance (perhaps it's just the way I've got apache set up, but I dont get all that stunning performance from the cache :) Kris
