We've replaces the one big load by a plethora of small loads. I am convinced this isn't a an improvement in all cases. E.g. on drupal.org, we got plenty of memory to burn, so the old setup probably wasn't much of a problem.
But even on drupal.org, Drupal 4.7's "many small queries" worked better than the "one query"-appoach we used in Drupal 4.6. I attached a conceptual graph that illustrates the impact of the URL aliasing changes for those who aren't well aware . The path aliasing in Drupal 4.7 is better than the one in Drupal 4.6, but that doesn't mean there is no room for further improvements. :) Personally, I find algorithmic improvements much more interesting than caching-based solutions. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
