You might want to expand on that, it does sound like a good PR
statement.  If the actual comments are sensible, you might as well say
what they were (beyond the little bit you said further on).

Have you considered not using a cache per browser (turn off the on-disk
caching in each browser), but using a common proxy for your whole LAN?
You'll reduce your internet bandwidth usage, and it's possible that it
might be more efficient than what you've noticed with NFSing the local
caches.
