The Cache is a holding spot for web pages you have visited using Netscape. Basically, every time you visit a web site, your computer downloads a copy of the page into your Cache folder so it doesn’t have to download the whole page again the next time you visit it. The cache can get large rather quickly if you visit a lot of graphic intensive sites. If you start getting General Protection Fault errors or if Netscape’s performance starts to slow down, you may want to clear the Cache.
