Caching Issue

Guys, hoping someone can help me out...

I'm experiencing a problem when I'm browsing, in that there are Mbs & Mbs being dumped into my temporary folders.

I normally use IE8, but have also used Google Chrome and they both react in the same manner.

Approx 10 mins of browsing, plus a round of Tiger Woods Online can see as much as 150 Mbs be left in either the Temporary Internet Folder or Internet Cache (depending on the Browser used).

I have to run CCleaner on a regular basis, to stop slowdown due to this.

Has anyne else seen this, or can anyone assist in rectifying?

Thanks in advance.

There is an Advanced>>Security option under IE Tools>>Internet Options to Empty the Temporary Internet Files folder when closing the browser. Alternatively, you can reduce the space allocation for the folder under General>>Browsing History>>Settings.

@Roncer - Yes, I have that option selected in IE8. although it doesn't seem to be working properly. When running CCleaner, it's still picking up large amounts left the Temporary Files folder. Can't see an option to do similar in Google Chrome.

@Gornot - It's more the AMOUNT of memory that's being dumped... In one session, last week, I managed to accrue almost 1GB in the Temporary Files (and I'd only been on 4 sites).

@Hopalong - Thanks for that. I've made the changes, as per your instructions.

Just to clarify, it's not only TWO that's causing this prob (although I agree with what you said).
I can be using Facebook, check my Online Banking, and just normal browsing and I seem to have a larger than normal amount of Memory cached.

I'll monitor, to see how the change affects this.

Thanks again

I like the way Hopalong X handled that gaming settings but I will also go along with Gornot in post #3. What makes you think cache is a bad thing? Browser cache speeds up your internet experience.

Sorry Guys,
I got the explanation slightly wrong.... apologies.

The dumping is going into the SYSTEM's own Temporary Files folder, AS WELL AS the Temporary Files folder for the Browser.
As I said, it can reach an amount where it's quite obviously slowing down my Processor.

Can anyone shed any light on what I can do stop this happening?

If you are talking about <Username>AppData/Local/Temp, I just noticed that my folder is only 25MB, although I often do a disk clean up that empties that folder. You could look at the names of the large files to see where they are coming from.
