Quoting Sam Lindley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Yes; if you turn on the cache_programs option, it *should* store the type-checked, optimized code after doing it once & use that on future hits. It should also detect when the file changes and invalidate the cache. I say "should" because I haven't looked at that stuff in a while. Let me know if you have any problems with it, I'd like to make sure that code works well.

Caching is unlikely to work because it requires the web server to have
write access to the directory where the source code is stored.

If I added a setting which allowed choosing an alternate directory for cache files, would this solve the problem? One could use /tmp, for example. In this case I would also do something to prevent users from clashing with one another, for example hashing the file's full path name to form the cache filename.

Yes. That seems like a sensible thing to do.
