Topic: Web cache on Chumby One

With the increased storage space in /mnt/storage, I wonder if anyone has considered running a HTTP proxy server on the device with it storing cached requests in somewhere on that partition.  I'm thinking of making a build of Polipo (http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/) for the C1 and getting libcurl to use the proxy through setting a "http_proxy" environment variable before the Chumby control panel starts.

It would probably be a win for widgets that pull down a lot of images from the network.  From posts I've seen here, the standard caching that is done in Flash is pretty limited.
