caching differences between 6.5 and 6.6

I have a core 2 duo laptop with a SSD running win 8.1. When downloading headers daily from about 80 GOGs, newsbin uses little of the 200/200 cache but it does create up to about 10 import file caches, which take several minutes to finish. This was much less so in 6.5/ Comments or ideas?

Cache chunks have little to do with the blocks of headers downloaded.

I'm not 100% sure what you're reporting. Newsbin downloads headers and stores them in the import folder. Then processes the files in the import folder. The difference between 6.56 and 6.60 is in the older version these files were compressed. Now they're not. It reduces CPU to save and to load them but the file sizes are bigger.

What I'm reporting is that 6.50 is faster at completing header processing than 6.60RC4 (and earlier RC's), ie finishing the import of all the group files in the import folder. It may have lessened cpu overhead to not have to compress/decompress, but on my pc it is slower. Just FYI , it may not follow on others environments.
