Please have a look at the man page caching feature request: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13694 Do we want to add it? I don't know how much the speed gain could be on slow systems. All my systems are very fast even with complex and long pages. Opinions? -Andy

This comment from the developer makes it a no from me: "This isn't the default because it does open some possible security risks (even though I'm very careful to try to avoid them)" Allan
