Yeah, I understand cache protocols, don't worry! My point was the degree to which this would actually cause semantically significant incconsitencies (e.g. people might have varying content but not mark it with a no cache flag).
In any case I sped OW up intensely by nuking all the files in ~Library that referred to OW or Safari, then moving back my workspaces, bookmarks and cookies. Now OW zips along. It could be just the preferences, though I have manually reset most (e.g. ad filtering strings) and shortcuts.
What's weirdest is that even things like expanding/collapsing folders in the bookmarks window is a lot faster.
I've been manually moving sections back into the prefs file without it changing anything. Obviously debugging this isn't my #1 priority.
