There's a hidden preference which can make 5.5 load workspaces even
faster. If you run this command in the Terminal:

defaults write com.omnigroup.OmniWeb5 WorkspacesLoadFromCache -bool true

... then OmniWeb will load content from the disk cache when a workspace
is opened, rather than re-fetching it from the web. (It will also get
the workspace content from any caching proxy your connection goes
through rather than forcing the proxy to re-fetch it.)

This does mean that you will tend to get the version of the page from
when you last saved the workspace, rather than the latest version. But
that is usually what I want anyway, as I want to pick up exactly where I
left off.

Thanks to Len Case for revealing this default on the forum.
