No! The maximum size of your Internet Explorer browser cache should be around 20 megabytes. Generally, cache sizes above 80 megabytes waste disk space and can actually cause slower performance.
You may experience a decrease in performance if the value is set too high or too low. For example, if the amount of disk space available for the folder is set too high, it may fill a large portion of your hard drive with outdated information (remember, many Web sites are updated on a regular basis). On the other hand, configuring a value that is too low can increase the amount of time to display Web pages.

the temp folder is only used as a cache while doing online activities and has nothing to do with memory. having a larger temp folder will simply allow more files to be stored locally so the next time you try to acces them online, it pulls it from your hard drive which is significantly faster than your internet connection.

its not cos it will just clog up your harddrive. if u set it small it will only use as much then stop using it. This wont make a difference to anything and you will have more hdd space.
