Well - we empty the cache for other reasons.
We do a --full- virus scan of our hard drives each morning.  
This means checking every file.  Since Netscape's cache can be hundreds of
files this was taking far too long.
We have included a line in our autoexec just before the virus scan that
deletes all files in the cache directory.

If there is any change to performance - for the better or worse - it has
not been noticeable.
