Agreed. Is there anything else available for memory based caches for
Apache? We have over a million documents (and dozens of online systems
through CGI's). About 150 documents (all from the http side) account for
40% of our traffic and many of the graphics are fairly common among the
pages. Even a small memory based cache would have signifigant advantages
for our site.
Regardless, would I see much advantage from implementing this feature? 95%
of our accesses on the SSL side are CGI programs, and I'm not sure what
the cache would store that would be useful. Since its session based, I
assume some keys would be stored.
