I am interested in views comparing Opera and PIE. Both came pre-loaded on my T-Mobile Ameo, with Opera as the default. MemMaid makes it easy to locate the PIE cache on the MicroDrive, but it does not support this functionality for Opera. I did a quick speed test comparison, and got much faster results with PIE, possibly because my PIE default cache size is 48MB, whereas I increased the Opera cache to 10MB but did not feel comfortable going above that since it is in Main Memory. Does anyone know of a registry edit to locate the Opera cache folder on the MicroDrive?

I used a trial version of Pocket Mechanic to move the cache files. I can't remember if it was for Opera but you can check their website to see if it'll do it. Hope this helps.

Don't need a reg edit, just change a couple of lines in the /application data/opera/opera.ini to where you want it to point.
you have to copy the /app data/opera/ folder across to the microdrive (after you've edited the .ini
Can then delete the original cache4 and most of the other files that still reside in the mainstorage /app data/opera folder. However deleting chartables and one or two others(can't remember which ones) will mess up opera a bit. You can always restore back from the microdrive folder a file at a time if need be
