Most (all?) sites use same basic hardware for entire farm. Plus, in the case of local caches (disk & mem) this doesn't make sense. And it is a performance hit (ever slight) to call aton() on every cache read. The older version of the disk cache stored all the metadata in ascii and we eliminated it for performance reasons. Mod_cache is filled with lots of "small" performance hits. I don't really want to introduce any more without good reason. One day, when I have time, I want to go through and strip out a lot of the "small" hits that are there, just to see what difference it makes. Of course, I've been meaning to do that for 2 years... -- Brian Akins Chief Operations Engineer Turner Digital Media Technologies
