When I first suggested that node objects should be cachable I wasn't able to get sufficient support for this and had to accept the static cache as a minor solution. However, now that there are so many very popular Drupal sites, I think that the forces that be might reconsider their position. ;)
That would be excellent. I believe that as a configurable option this would be a great win for Drupal. I will put together some documentation of the performance gains for authenticated and anonymous users. I'd sure like to have node object caching for drupal.org. :) -- Steve Rude Lead Web Developer 800-618-8777phone / 858-225-0479 fax www.achieveinternet.com steve@achieveinternet.com Achieve Internet is a Division of Web Page Maintenance, Inc.
