Why do you guys put such importance on the content of the cache and the values stored in the cookies?
Why does it make a difference in the end result, anyway?

Thanks for posting ChrstieP.
It only makes a difference if you are concerned about the reproducibility of test results, from a known starting state.
If that's a concern, then no need to worry about the contents of the cache.
See this manual page, here:
http://e-valid.com/Products/Documentati ... ement.htmlIf the page you are currently timing -- as you do in monitoring it -- is already loaded then you are testing only the speed of the local machine to do the loading from a local copy.
To assure you are getting actual 'over the web' data you need to make sure you really DO download the page afresh.
Hope that answers you question.
