one of the primary reasons is the paging caching process that MS IE has versus Netscape. More information is stored. What IE does is hold "hidden cache" files that aren't erased when you clear them. if you want to see them, use Windows Explorer to cascade down your "Temporary Internet Files" folder. You won't see the folders in the listing on the right, but you will see them cascade down in a list.
Personally, my conspiracy theory is that MS is using the hidden files to collect information about surfing habits. Ever see the Microsoft Download page pop up for no reason and then go away?
