[QUOTE="Sherman Homan, post: 282768, member: 22094"] zoolook pretty much nails it. Whether it is hard drive data, processor routines or web pages, the concept is the same: cache is a place for fast retrieval of important stuff. The reason that Safari seems to load faster with an empty cache is because if a web page isn't there in cache, no comparison is necessary, Safari just goes right out to the web and loads the page.
