Perhaps using a mysql-based cache would give more benefits than meets |
| 2 |
the eye? I'm thinking particularly about, if it were possible, keeping a |
| 3 |
mysql-based cache on a central server on my LAN, and having all clients |
| 4 |
use that rather than having to keep a cache on each and every one of |
| 5 |
them. This would also speed up cache times on slower machines, assuming |
| 6 |
the network is faster than local access (which is sometimes the case in |
| 7 |
my environment). Just a thought. |
