yup, your computer only allocates a certain amount of room to the browsers cache. you can increase this with a throttle somewhere in its properties though. i think its done by a ratio and not a fixed amount so it varies based on your RAM. if you dont have much RAM and have not rebooted in a few days or done something to clear the temporary memory you may end up getting memory space errors or simply crashing.
all the myths about ruining a computer by turning it off and on every day havent been true since the late 90s, so its perfectly safe to turn off your computer every time you arent using it. many people will simply leave their computers on for over a week and that isnt good.
