Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. This avoids thrashing caches too much for B and evens out the pressure on the L3 caches of the machine.

Users might already have the file cached. If website-a.com links to [link] , and a user goes from there to website-b.com who also links to [link] , then the user will already have that file in their cache. Penalty: Caching. This makes it very safe and sensible to enforce a reasonably aggressive cache policy.
