Re: hand-wave-y cache performance data

Fwiw, we disabled cache on mobile (again) for 2-3 perf bugs.  I think we are the only mobile browser in the Android Market that doesn't have a disk cache.  I am sure that is going to show up in both performance benchmarks as well as power benchmarks.

Is there a plan to rewrite our cache -- making it modern?  IIRC, the necko cache was written back in the late 90's - a time when disk space and cpu cycles were more expensive.  If there isn't a plan, we need one.  I don't think continued investment into the necko cache is something we should be doing.
