More disc cache improvements
by Vincent Sanders
Further to my previous efforts I have made an attempt to improve the
disc cache performance even more. I would again be grateful if
suitably interested users could try test CI build 2771 or later.
The previous changes switched to using a small number of large files
to hold all the "small" entries within the cache instead of them using
individual files. This drastically improved the cache performance on
several RISC OS machines.
The new update extended this approach so that these block files get
created with their maximum size instead of being grown every time a
new cache entry is added.
This change should be beneficial to RISC OS users as filecore is
(apparently) dreadful at this kind of usage pattern.
I have also adjusted how the computation of low bandwidth is made to
try and make it more stable and less "trigger happy".
I would be interested in getting the details from using the updated
test release in the same way as previously detailed. (The overall
bandwidth message from the log)
I am especially interested in testing from the Iyonix as this was
right on the edge of usefulness previously. It is probably not worth
bothering with the RPi and ARM mini platforms as their reported
bandwidth last time was awful and I do not envisage an improvement of
that many orders of magnitude.

Yesterday Google stopped working with Netsurf.
Has anyone any cures or suggestions?

If you let the search page loop run, you eventually get to a page "Google
has detected unusual traffic - are you a robot?"
Fill in the CAPTCHA and it loops again.
But maybe if they get enough loops they will notice... or pigs will fly!
On the page there is also a "why did this happen" link. That doesn't work
either!

How is it possible to transfer an address, from the Google search page,
to the NetSurf hotlist, without actually visiting the site?

Hot List
by Richard Torrens (lists)
Could you change the saving of the hot list?
At present it only saves when NS is quit - a pain if you have just made
changes and NS quits1
It either needs a Menu Item: Save Hot List or it should save automatically
when changed.
