Question: Multiple runs are with are without browser cache refresh

[tobli]

Hi!
For each run, Browsertime starts a new browser instance. It's telling the browser, via launch flags, to start a "clean" session, i.e. with empty caches. So in theory all runs should be equal. In practice there will always be caching in DNS, in proxies etc.

For good statistics I'd recommend many runs, to lessen the impact of one time effects. All suggestions for how to make this more useful to you are most welcome.

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick input, Tobias. One feature request that would be very helpful is to provide remote grid support for browsers.

Thanks, I've opened #43 for that feature request. Feel free to add additional comments there about what you'd like to do with it and how you'd like it to work.
