Your Computer is getting too slow!

Every now and then I hear complains in the chat about how the computer is getting slow when surfing on a TE. Well, that is true, that happens, so here is the easiest solution to that problem:

I am aqtually very surprised of the amount of people who have NO clue about how to perform this easy task. When I ask them if they have cleared the cache, the most common counter-question is; huh?
Hopefully this will save a few of you from those unnecessary re-boots.
