[FX.php List] Speeding up page display

[DC]

I haven't used this GUI-fied wget utility, but it seems like it might  
help crawl your site to cache the pages.

basically, you just need to feed it one page with all the possible  
permutation of links (which shouldn't be too hard to generate) - and  
the speed improvements will be thorough!
