Disable Opera Browser Disk Cache

I took a look at iostat and I think browser caching is a major source
of disk activity in /home. Therefore, I am using squid as a caching
web proxy so I want to prevent everyone caching pages individually.

Hence, I tried to disable Disk cache using these instructions
http://www.opera.com/support/usingopera/operaini/
http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/sysadmin/

I edited
/etc/opera6rc.fixed

[Disk Cache]
Enabled=0

and also tried

Size=0

After restarting Opera it reports that indeed Disk cache is Off in
Tools->Preferences->Advanced->History
 but it still is caching if I look in
~/.opera/cache4/
when I am browsing.

Does anyone know how to really disable Disk Caching in Opera 9.23?
