caching really helps a lot.

uriel hacked the labs webfs to crudely add caching, though 9front uses a rew=
rite of webfs by cinap (much better).

i would suggest a cache should be a separate program but maybe one webfs ins=
erts into its flow, like aan is inserted by import.

i also wondered if a cache could/should make use of a global cache for non-a=
uthenticated connections, so all users share the cache for the google homepa=
ge but not for their bank. i don't know enough about the web to know if this=
 is feasible.
