Configuring the Disk Cache
Disk caching stores commonly-used graphical objects such as bitmaps in a local disk cache on the client, but uses local hard disk space. If your connection is bandwidth-limited, enabling disk caching increases performance.
To Configure the Disk Cache
- Choose Settings from the Option menu.
- Choose Disk Cache from the
Settings dialog box to display the
Disk Cache page:
- To change the amount of disk space used for the cache, move the top slider bar. The default value is 16 MB.
- To change the location of the disk cache, type a new location in the Disk Cache Directory box, or click the Change button and select a location.
- To change the minimum size of bitmap to cache, move the bottom slider bar. The default value is 64kB
- Click Clear Cache Now to clear the current cache directory of cache files.
- Click OK.
Note: When connecting over a modem, changing the minimum size of bitmap to cache to 8kB may improve performance.
