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.
