Have you had a look at your logs to see how often a particular page gets called. This will give you an idea as to how many entries you might end up with in the cache, if they are not being called repeatedly then the improvement will be slight. Or if the data changes often the the cache will become out of date too often.
Also how big are these chunks of data? Again this is the sort of thing you will need to know when sizing the cache. If the data is really large then the cache may expire them before you get to reuse them. That aside parsing and combining xml documents is not the fastest thing on earth so if you can cache final format of the data and reuse it then you should get a good speedup. You need to measure things. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
