Comment Doubtlessly picky of me I know but .... (Score 1) 241
Having seen the pretty pictures with the lines going up I had a read of one of the cited articles "A user-focused evaluation of web prefetching algorithms"
I was dubious of the number 233% quoted in the article.
Whilst the 1995 numbers come from a source that's referenced in other articles, the 2003 numbers come from a single month of proxy logs for a web-server and a news-server at the University of Valencia with 300 users and 132 users respectively.
I didn't think that was a useful sample for drawing conclusions about the 'web' in general and wondered what other people felt.
