Disc cache updates
by Vincent Sanders
The disc cache has recently been updated to track the speed of write
operations.
The implementation of this briefly introduced a bug generating
excessive logging (seen as heavy disc writing and cpu load) which has
been squished and CI build #2413 should not have the problem.
As a result of this performance tracking The browser will now detect
if a system cannot sustain a write speed of one Megabit (120kilobytes
/ second) the cache will disable itself and display a warning.
If this continues to occur the cache is simply not useful on that
system and should be configured off (by setting the cache size to 0)
The Megabit limit is a practical value derived from
experimentation. It in envisaged that the lower disc bandwidth may be
tuneable in future based on the users network connection but this needs
investigation and careful checking.

Is "netsurf-users Digest, Vol 93, Issue 4" REALLY the subject of
the previous thread?
Subject line should be something useful when it comes to searching for
a past discussion of a problem.
Suggestion to list administrator: get rid of the Digest option
altogether. It's not as if the list receives so much traffic as to
warrant a digest version. Then there would be no chance of anyone
mistakenly using a "Digest" subject line when replying to a message.

After a hiccup with some missing files from the cache folder I
got 2511 to start up.
It still times-out with the link to gov.uk.

I tried 2511 and that won't start properly. A dialoue pops-up with
Netsurf failed to initialise.

I'm using Atari build 2508 and even after a reboot it still times-out.
I was able to access it with an ancient browser (CAB).
I'll update and see what happens.

Page timeout
by Peter Slegg
When I tried the page below it just times-out and never
renders any of the page, it didn't even leave Bing, where
I found the link.
https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays
Does it do this for anyone else ?
