What does the “Caching” radar image server in Settings do?

Cloudburst uses a web service to store generated radar images, making their retrieval a lot quicker. Each image only has to be assembled once, the first time it’s asked for, after which everyone will get the already-created image. Turning the caching server off will cause the app to talk directly to the NOAA.gov servers, which will be slower.
