Should we cache (at least the most recently used) thumbnails in the RAM cache? Opening a new tab is pretty common, seems likely to make it snappier. We could get this for free whenever bug 602611 happens, but I don't think that will be very soon, so it could be worth optimizing this case in the meantime. Not sure of the right implementation: we'd either need to cache entries in both disk/RAM cache (not sure how easy/kosher that would be), or possibly keep a separate cache (not the necko cache) of the most recent set of thumbnails used. The latter might be easiest. Perhaps the thumbnail code already does some sort of optimization with this--cc'ing ttaubert in case he knows.
We are actively moving away from the file cache for thumbnails.
then I'll assume this is WONTIX
