The compose cache accelerates program startup times and memory consumption considerably, especially for UTF8 locales. In order to use the compose cache, please create a directory

I've created the .compose-cache but I guess I'm not sure what exactly it does. Does anyone know? Which apps are currently utilizing this? I only see two small cache files (>1MB) in the folder and I don't exactly understand what's being cached.
I would also like to understand what exactly is being cached and how it is affecting performance. I also get warnings such as following when I start any X-based program Ignoring broken XimCache /home/oshogg/.XCompose Any idea what this means? Is .XCompose supposed to be a file or directory? what should it contain? thanks -- Osho
