Cache file list?

Hi!
Does the "Cache file list" button actually do anything? Even when it's not checked, the file list seems to be available immediately.
And if it does do anything, maybe a better name would be in order, either "Refresh cached file list" or "Use cached file list" depending on what it should do :)

The 'Cache File List' option stores the scanned directory structure in memory for use next time (so it doesn't have to rebuild the folder tree). This will make searches over a large number of folders slightly faster. Due to hard drive/windows caching though your next search is ususually faster anyway!
