Unfortunately, the server cache does not do what I intended it to when I
originally coded it. The problem with performance is due to the fact
that it must both re-instantiate objects as well as perform reflection
on all of them -- but in reverse order (reflection objects are what are
cached).
I would like to address this in the future; would you be willing to put
an issue in the tracker, so it doesn't get lost, but also so that I can
ping you about testing?
In the meantime, you have a couple of options:
* First, don't use the server cache
* Make sure you *are* using an opcode cache
* Consider setting up functionality to cache read-only methods, so
that the XML-RPC server can be bypassed entirely for such calls.
