I generally have it running on my desktop, mainly because I like to
analyse my own browsing habits via calamaris (and I set all hard disk
browser caches on all user accounts to 0 MB). Cache hit rate is very
low, generally around 2-3% and speed up is also in the single digits,
occasionally going negative. But again, it can be just the result of my
browsing habits.
