[orca-list] Firefox caching

[Isaac Porat <isaac porat me uk>]

Hi

My impression based on watching many messages on the Vinux list and my 
own experience that a major barrier for people not using Linux more 
intensively is lacking performance with Firefox and to a lesser extent 
Thunderbird probably the most two significant applications for most people.

Leaving aside the important subjects of perhaps rewriting some parts of 
the code and algorithm efficiency,  most screen reader are using a 
caching mechanism for the web pages to speed things along call it 
virtual buffers or something else (nothing to do with any off screen 
model which is of no relevance to Orca) I wonder if this is something 
that could be considered seriously.

To my mind the subject of sluggish response especially in critical 
applications is by far the main issue, otherwise Orca does a good job

Regards
Isaac
