Well, in general I'm against adding small caches all over the place as this will most likely turn into pain over time. And usually it works in one use case but fails (or turns into worse performance) in other use cases. This might not be the case here. I think, before we do any changes we should have test cases where we can check the results against. I trust Joel's analysis, however we don't have any benchmarks in the Sling project and it's very hard atm for the Sling community to see the problem and to verify the implications of a change - being it good or bad. Therefore, let's create a benchmark project first and use that for improvements. Regards Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler Adobe Research Switzerland [email protected]
