Thanks for the reply. You are of course right. I should just do my processing of urlconf whenever when it is needed, and leave caching to some future optimisation.
Even so; Given your definition of the signal, how come the BUILD_RULES is output after the request log line, is that just a property of the print statement? Btw, I couldn't agree more on the importance of adhering to the letter and spirit of HTTP. The whole RESTful approach makes perfect sense to me.
