[drupal-devel] performance improvements - avoiding big unserialize()

[Khalid B]

Maybe this is implicitly meant by Dries, but just to spell it out, the
pseudo code should be modified to read:

if (multi-server setup) {
  1. use memcached or
  2. use a shared database cache or
  3. invent a cache-coherency protocol?
}
else if (APC) {
  4. use APC
}
else if (on shared hosting) {
 5. Use existing cache or no caching at all
}
