> If you want a memory only cache, you could use an incognito window.
Thanks for the tip, i didn't know that. I will try it out.
How about adding a cmdline switch that tells chrome to load in the cache to
memory (lab experiment) ?
Chrome's caching could be a lot better and faster.

Chrome is constantly using my loud hard drive. I'm thinking of switching to
another browser for this reason. My hard drive is not in good health in the
first place, and this behavior is not helping matters.

Whenever Google Chrome is open my HDD spins really fast. It happened after
the last update (21.0.1180.79). It's very annoying with my 10k RPM drive.
