with IE5 under OS9 you could create a 10Mb ram disk and use it for browser caching: this made revisiting sites instantaneous
with broadband this is made redundant but i only have dial-up & safari’s ‘forward’ and ‘back’ times are the same (slow)
is there anything i can do to dedicate some RAM just for safari’s caching?
can OSX's memory management be bypassed?

Isn't that what RAM disks do? I'm not sure how or if they do any paging, though.

so it turns out PithHelmet's debug menu allows back/forward caching
seems a lot faster ...
***************
and before i actually try: is this going to help with the safari-to-safari bookmark saving ritual?
it's just i have started a new (small) set and my old (BIG) set is saved as 'Bookmarks.html'
i don't want to lose my new set if PithHelmet's gunna import my old set and overwrite it
any clues?

well i went & tried anyway via debug menu and:
"safari cannot read any bookmarks from Bookmarks.html"
so i hope i still have a Bookmarks.plist somewhere on floppy that i can try
or am i wasting my time looking?

What about using .Mac to sync them? That's how I keep them up to date between my two computers....

yeah but ...
.mac seems an unnecessary and expensive way to just save my bookmarks when a workable export/re-import function should/could (easily?) be built into safari or written as script ect, ect ...
besides, i only have dial-up so the rest of .mac is painfully slow
saving (Bookmarks.plist) via BackUpUserPrefs, then manually replacing (drag&drop) that Bookmarks.plist BEFORE opening the new safari does work, but is clumsy as hell and if overlooked just once it means all bookmarks are lost forever

ps: apologies for derailing my own thread here, but this has been pissing me off for years and despite endless searches i haven't found an answer. and yes, i have emailed apple. several times
