Andreas,
this issue has appeared several times on the list and I agree that it
would improve the performance a lot in many cases. We simply haven't
reached a satisfactory conclusion as to how to deal with the cache. One
problem is that Sablotron may often be just a component of a larger
system - wouldn't it be reasonable to provide hooks to let the system do
the caching? If not, should the cache be processor-instance-specific or
global? Should caching be transparent for the user or rather performed
on demand?
I feel that it would be best to discuss these questions on this list
first before we start to implement the cache. Any ideas will be most
appreciated.
