Hi Evan,
I'd imagine so if it were general HTML pages. We're dealing with pages that
are generated from scripts though. It's very possible that they contain code to
always push the latest version of the page to the browser in some way or form.
I'm not entirely sure on this, but that's the best guess I can give you.
What I can tell you is to use SHIFT+Enter on a link and it will open in a new
window. Then when done, use ALT+F4 to close that window and return to your
previous window with no lag time. The only downfall is that the page isn't as
current as it could be, hardly a concern in most circumstances.
Happy faster searching!
Jake

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT: Why Does Reloading Pages Take So Long?
I was just wondering: When I first load the Step One page, or do an author
search by clicking on one of the letters and browsing through the names, it
takes a good while to load the first time. But when I look at a book on the
Step One page to decide whether I want to take it or not, then alt-left arrow
back to the Step One page, or look at an author and alt-left arrow back to the
list of authors under a specific letter, it seems to take just as long as it
did originally. I haven't timed it exactly, but it's close if not exactly as
long. I have checked my temporary internet files disk allocation and it is at
3% - which is 1.2 gigs out of a 40 gig drive. Shouldn't these pages load faster
the second time I try to go to them? Isn't that what these temporary folders
are for, to enable faster loading of pages already visited? I would think it
would pop back up right away, being on my hard drive. Isn't that how it works?
Thanks for any enlightenment.
