Having just glanced at the cache saving code, I imagine that it's hideously
slow, as it appears to do a bazillion tiny writes using WriteFile.

I think the cache is generally a few MB of RAM, which ought to take much
less than a second to put down onto disk on a modern machine.

I guess I need to do some work on the cache again - it's very unfair of me
to repeatedly pop-up only to criticise Stefan's work and then disappear again.

Personally, I've always been sceptical about the benefits of saving the
cache to disk, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work, nor should it
be slow.
