  A non-trivial percentage of visitors hit Google Search with an empty cache and no cookies. I know the numbers but aren't sure I can share them, but it's enough that relying on caching to solve latency woes doesn't work.

    In 2007 Yahoo shows that ~40-60% of users hit their pages with an empty cache[1]. Newer numbers would be good :) [1] http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2007/01/04/performance-research-part-2/ http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2007/01/04/performance-research-...

  From my experience, they do ask those questions.
