I was reading through some ehcache notes and noticed a mention that EhCache 
2 returned memory usage levels to pre-1.6 levels (apparently 1.7 used more 
memory). I thought; I wonder if I could upgrade? And so far, the answer is 
yes! I haven't put this into production yet so can't claim any live 
results, but it may be worth a try if you want to squeeze some performance 
(and upgrade about 8 years worth of ehCache development...)

The process was simple:

* Download ehcache-2.10.1.jar, log4j-1.2.17.jar, slf4j-api-1.7.14.jar and 
slf4j-log4j12-1.7.14.jar
* Replace the existing Jars in 
transfer/com/cache/provider/ehcache/ehcache-lib/ 
* Add a name parameter to your ehcache.xml file like: <ehcache 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ehcache.org/ehcache.xsd"; 
name="transferCacheManager"> - this isn't strictly necessary but if you try 
to recreate transfer in the application scope, it will fail unless you add 
this name because it will find an existing, unnamed cache.
* Restart

I think that's all I did. The cacheReport tag doesn't work with the new 
version but I have updated it to work if anyone uses that. I'm going to 
test this a bit further to see if there are any wins in production but it 
was surprisingly easy.
