On the contrary, it makes no sense whatsoever to use a generic storage facility for cached HTTP responses in a front-end cache because those responses can only be delivered at maximum speed through a single system call IFF they are not generic. That is why our front-end cache is not, and has never needed to be, a generic cache.
a generic cache can deliver objects in a single system call. Thinks VFS. the "generic storage facility" may be only a thin wrapper around something like current mod_disk_cache or it may be a memcache frontend, or something completely different.
