// PREF: Race Cache With Network (RCWN) [FF59+]
// [ABOUT] about:networking#rcwn
// Firefox concurrently sends requests for cached resources to both the
// local disk cache and the network server. The browser uses whichever
// result arrives first and cancels the other request. This approach sometimes
// loads pages faster because the network can be quicker than accessing the cache
// on a hard drive. When RCWN is enabled, the request might be served from
// the server even if you have valid entry in the cache. Set to false if your
// intention is to increase cache usage and reduce network usage.
