  So effectively since I clear my browser cache each time I close FF, I would need to hit the turbo link each time I log in to each of my Dashboards (3 blogs)?

  No – Gears stores it’s files somewhere out of the browser cache. So after clearing the cache you can be sure that Gears does have the files, your browser does not and you will see a speed increase because of Gears having them.

  Cool beans! Thanks for the option of using Google Gears! Hope the next Google Gears feature is an offline wp.com editor sync. :)

  works well with firefox.
  Doesn’t work well if you access a browser (like Avant) from a remote location from your computer. I assume because the google gears cache is at one computer.

  Yes, it is; it’s installed on one particular browser on one particular computer.

  Is Gears functionally like the prefetch files cached within Windows?
