I did an analysis of the performance of different caching modules a little
while back which I posted to this list. At the time one of the caches I
benchmarked was Cache::FileCache. I just received an email from someone
pointing out that it's worth knowing that Cache::SizeAwareFileCache is many,
many times slower than Cache::FileCache. Probably something worth being
aware of.
I've updated the page here:
http://cpan.robm.fastmail.fm/cache_perf.html
So probably at the moment the two best modules to use are:
1. For a size limited or expiring cache: Cache::FastMmap
2. For a size unlimited and/or non-expiring cache: BerkeleyDB
