This does not tell whether the cache was disabled/enabled.\r\n- The reported result has been [referenced by the founder of Brave Software Inc.](https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/690297345271984129) as a pro-argument for the [Brave browser](https://brave.com/) -- so I consider the result is worth scrutinizing.\r\n\r\nFollowing are details of my own benchmark.\r\n- Benchmark tool: <http://www.raymondhill.net/ublock/pageloadspeed.html>.\r\n- Web page benchmarked (same as above): <https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2016/01/20/new-evidence-suggests-a-ninth-planet-lurking-at-the-edge-of-the-solar-system/>.\r\n- Intel Core i5-3570K, 8 GB\r\n- Chromium: 47.0.2526.106 Built on Ubuntu 14.04, running on LinuxMint 17.2 (64-bit).\r\n- No other extension installed. (important: other extensions can add their own overhead).\r\n- No app installed.\r\n- 3rd-party cookies disabled.\r\n- Flash plugin disabled.\r\n- Click-to-play enabled (so that plug-ins do not execute without user intervention).\r\n- uBO 1.6.0b5\r\n    - Fresh new install.\r\n    - No settings changed.\r\n    - Filter lists force-updated following install.\r\n        - Waiting one minute for GC to get out of the way.\r\n\r\nResults:\r\n- Cache enabled: Average (valid): 1085.61 ms (11/16 iterations)\r\n- Cache disabled: Average (valid): 1492.59 ms (11/18 iterations)\r\n\r\nThis is far from close to the results reported in the tweet: 5490 ms. This is why I am skeptical of the reported result -- I would like to understand why the discrepancy."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gorhill/uBlock/issues/comments/187157101","html_url":"https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/1279#issuecomment-187157101","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gorhill/uBlock/issues/1279","id":187157101,"user":{"login":"harshanvn","id":779630,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/779630?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/harshanvn","html_url":"https://github.com/harshanvn","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harshanvn/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harshanvn/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harshanvn/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harshanvn/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harshanvn/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harshanvn/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harshanvn/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harshanvn/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harshanvn/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-22T12:47:48Z","updated_at":"2016-02-22T12:47:48Z","body":"Ok Thanks."}}
