Comment Pre-caching? (Score 1) 646
"scientists at University College, Dublin found it boosted surfing speeds by between 100 and 500 percent depending on the basic dial-up connection rate."
If a higher connection rate gets you a bigger speed boost it certainly sounds like pre-caching - more bandwidth means it can pull more pages.
Not to belittle his effort, but this is probably a (gifted) geeks pet project that has been misreported and blown out of all proportion.
