Re: WM cache settings

Thank you for your answer. I have two questions:

1) what are those FastWriter settings in WM.properties, there is a note 
there that it will "significantly" affect performance but it doesn't 
tell me how.

2) Is the refresh rate specified in seconds? Also, I don't understand 
it's purpose. Why would I want it to reload after some specific time? I 
would only want it to load after it changes. Right?
Thanks again.
