You didn't say what system you are running, but if I assume it's OSX, I have two suggestions. 1. Switch to Safari. It's incredibly fast. 2. Here's the IE explanation for it's cache settings. See if you can figure out what it means..I can't. Cache Once Per Session Checks for updated content only if you return to a Web page you visited in a previous Internet Explorer session. If the page has changed, Internet Explorer displays the newer version of the page and stores a copy in the cache. Never Displays Web pages you previously visited by downloading their content from the Web. Always Checks for updated content each time you return to a Web page. If the page has changed, Internet Explorer displays the newer version of the page and stores a copy in the cache.
