This is a fork from the Caching, caching, caching thread.<br><br>I have opened an issue to start testing the gains for using an object cache on commonly-loaded objects ($user, $node, $block, $profile, $comment, $term) at <a href="http://drupal.org/node/74020">
http://drupal.org/node/74020</a><br><br>The patches apply against HEAD.&nbsp; (Be gentle, they are my first CVS patches.)<br><br>I'm currently using this approach in 4.6 to run the (very large) SavannahNow.com site and reduce database overhead.
<br>
<br>I'm currently testing a stripped-down HEAD install on a Mac PowerBook G4, so the testing numbers listed there may be misleading.<br><br>I toyed with the idea of creating some new functions for cache.inc to make retrieving objects easier, but for the time being am just using cache_set, cache_get, and cache_clear_all.
<br><br>One question: has file-based caching made it into HEAD yet? <br><br>-- Ken Rickard<br>drupal: agentrickard<br>gmail: agentrickard<br>
