I agree. The inBuf.setSize(strlen(inBuf.c_str())) is necessary to make
sure that inBuf.end is pointing at the right place.

IMHO it is irrelevant if ((start+size) <= strlen(cacheBuf)) is a speed
hit. It is just as necessary as above so that you aren't messing
around with data over the end of the buffer.

If we want to remove the strlen(cacheBuf) then we could cache it when
cacheBuf is created. Up to you guys what you prefer on that.

I had a quick look at making cacheBuf into a SWBuf but, er, that looks
a bit hairy.
