Hi Folks,

Odd question here but why do we have fp-info-cache?  Was there a bug 
report for these or just speed improvements?

On my system, it is the difference between 1 second vs. 3 seconds during 
the first footprint list load (full standard + personal libraries).  
Does it make a bigger difference on other systems?  I assume so but I 
was wondering if we have some data here?

I'd like to make storing it an option.  I've been working on templates 
recently and keep needing to delete the extra files from the directory 
(caches should not be valid for templates).

Thanks-
Seth
