Dave, I strongly recommend page level caching whenever possible. If your requirments will let you generate the html files on a schedule basis, do it. It may add on a little to your development time, but the speed increases will be remarkable.
If you dont want to get too complex with generating flat files, you can store your pages in application scope. I like to cache them into app scope and timestamp the cache. So you only regenerate a single page when a user requests it (rather than recompile the entire site) and only when the cacheTime has expired. Then I like follow this with database level caching with materialized views. You may want to add another GB of RAM though. 1GB of RAM is ok, but 2 is better and 4 would be money. RAM is so inexpensive now, that you should code to use it. -Adam On Wed, 30 Mar 2005 12:00:08 -0600, Dave Phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Calvin, > > Ahh, good point.
