Web caching

["Jean-Christian Imbeault" <jean_christian@example.com>]

I have been having some problems loading web pages off a particular 
commercial site (slow loading, some pages come up blank). I was worried it 
might be do to my Linux firewall setup or some particularities of web 
browsers under Linus (though I highly doubted it). I wrote their tech 
support and they suggested I regularly clear my cache.

There reasoning is as follows. Sounds like nonsense to me. Can anyone 
comment (with some authority ;) on the soundness of this?
