Thanks for the replies Anthony. One big variable is whether or not the cache has to create the initial cache files during the test run. When you create a new profile, there is additional work that the cache has to do, that is probably done partially during startup and partially during the processing of the first request. It is good to measure this, but it is a variable that has to be controlled and accounted for. Similarly, even when the cache exists, there is a bunch of work that has to be done the first time it is read from and/or the first time it is written to in a session. The cost of this one-time(-ish) work is reflected in the amazon.com scores, I guess. Good to keep in mind when looking at the numbers. - Brian _______________________________________________ dev-tech-network mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-network
