Re: Syncato 0.7

Fair enough Kimbro. It seems I feel into the optimize before necessary 
mentality. I guess that means in terms of effeciency I should activate 
the cache eh?
Didn't mean to imply i actually had a problem with solution, i just 
didn't want to do anything that was in practicality a bad idea. Based on 
what you saying
it isn't so I'm not adverse.

Cheers,
