Hi all, I have a model (Foo) with a has_many association to another model (Bar). Each Bar backreferences Foo, and calls a method on Foo that is expensive to call the first time per-instance (Foo#pricey). If all the instances of Bar referenced the same instance of Foo, the cost of calling Foo#pricey would only have to be paid once. Alas, this is not so:
>> foo = Foo.find :first >> foo.object_id => 70169390687560 >> foo.bars[0].foo.object_id => 70169406714940 >> foo.bars[1].foo.object_id => 70169407605180 I haven't looked into the problem too much, since I thought this was perhaps a simple, common problem for which solution patterns already exist. Are there? Alternatively, can you recommend a good starting point for developing a pattern?
