Is the idea here that a large buffer cache will help Netscape?

On a 533 Mhz 164LX / 8 MB / 256 MB NetBSD/alpha 1.4.1 Netscape 4.51,
"file->new->navigator window" takes 12 seconds.  This gets old when people
set up their pages to start a new window whenever you click on a link.

USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TT  STAT STARTED       TIME COMMAND
snoopy     716  0.0  7.1 23152 18552 p3  S    11:47PM    0:01.22 netscape 

Cranking up the buffer cache via

	options         BUFCACHE=30

resulting in

	using 9759 buffers containing 79945728 bytes of memory

made no difference.
