Right, only the local storge as part of WebStorage is persistent and therefore
requires disk access.

One thing I'm concerned about though in this context is that we're providing
this path setting per QWebPage, where as all our existing path settings are
global.

In WebKit however the local storage is not a property of the page, it is a
property of the page group.

If we want to introduce support for page groups in the future, then we have to
decide what we want to do with these path settings per page.

Should a page group result in all associated QWebPage instances also sharing
the same QWebSettings object, i.e. QWebPage::settings() on all the pages in the
group returning the same shared object?
