I'd be interested in knowing this as well. I've always wondered whether the caching on the milestone list actually helps, and how it helps. Considering it's cache:private, it means that each user has its own cache, right? So it doesn't help when multiple people look at the page the first time. It only helps when the same person reloads the page multiple times. Now, which use cases exist for that, except for checking if something changed, usually after having modified bugs himself, or someone on IRC told him that they changed bugs? For the use case when the user knows something has changed, he will try to reload until he actually sees the changes, and is a really bad user experience. It might be a good idea to do a UI review for memcache uses, to see how those will affect users' existing workflows, and some justification for whether it's worth the tradeoff, or not. -- Björn Tillenius | https://launchpad.net/~bjornt _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
