bucketbuster Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Hi,I was wondering if there are any benefits by disabling the Sun Java Cache?Would it speed up javascripts or slow them down?Would it make surfing the net safer?; as I understood that java is just like activeX a "dangerous" technology.
CoffeeFiend Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 A cache is meant to accelerate things, so one would think it would only slow things down, by how much? Probably not by a great deal...The key is not to come across those bad scripts (you don't usually find them on the average "normal" site) and having a good AV (like kaspersky). Not having a cache would prevent bad scripts from staying in there, but if you visit a bad site and have no protection - you will run it regardless - and it's not like the cahced ones get executed if you don't call them again anyways. So I don't see it as more protection at all, but rather as a minor slowdown.
bucketbuster Posted October 17, 2004 Author Posted October 17, 2004 Thanks for clearing up things, I was just wondering.Of course I'm using an AV (avast! home edition) and a good firewall (zonealarm free 5)
