[ale] OT: Slow response - follow up

[Scott Castaline]

I decided to give a few other browsers a chance to see if by chance it 
was Firefox. I loaded Opera, Google Chrome, and Seamonkey. Opera had no 
problem, I duplicated my search on Amazon and no problem. Google Chrome 
had a serious issue with the same search. Seamonkey also worked great. 
After kicking it around a bit I went and deleted the 3 _CACHE_00X_ and 
_CACHE_MAP_ in the profile/cache directory and restarted Firefox. Works 
like a champ now, even seems faster. My guess is that I had trash in my 
cache. My only concern is that from what I've been able to find, Firefox 
supposedly will recreate empty files, but this hasn't happened. I do 
have all my options set to zero in regards to saving anything, (cookies, 
cached pages, etc. I do save my passwords) so is that why they never got 
recreated?

I still may have a router issue as I pointed out that if I print to an 
alternate print queue other than my default printer, I'll get network 
errors to the effect of device not being connected. This doesn't happen 
with the default one though.
