	I think you are missing an important point (maybe?)
	The current fetch would stay as is.  I.e go str8 to client --
only after sent to client would a copy be sent off to the 'prefetcher', 
so at worst, prefetcher does it's scan and finds out stuff is already
fetched by client-requests, but in best case, prefetcher would do it's 
parsing before the client asked for the page-reqs and they would,
theoretically, already be 'in process' of being fetched.

I'm so out of it, I don't even know that terminology -- I could 'guess', 
like maybe 1) being rewriting the URL of content stored in the cache to
be more easily reusable, and 2) same as 1, but hmmm...rewriting requests 
from clients?...  Ah heck...I'm probably writing out my toes again...
(like speaking out some wrong orifice, but for writing v. speaking! ;-)).
Oh well nevermind...my floor is covered with drippings from overflowing plate.

	Sigh...probably mean well, but when they get in there, they find
they are way over their heads...or at least alot more work than they
thought it'd be...  not that I don't run into that many times in trying
to change something or other on OpnSrc sw...geez...
	Hardly anything is just simple anymore...
	My home network is held together with bailing wire and duct tape
and even then it's unstable in weird ways.
