The general concept is the same, but the physical processor hardware cache has no relation to WebCatalog's cache. Overall performance of CPU-intensive things (like searching, sorting, executing WebDNA) will improve, but then so will all other programs on that box.>Speaking of cache...I have a dumb question.
