You guess correctly :) I set the variable in my config file and the query cache does seem to be working. The counters are incrementing and it's caching the majority of my queries (it says).
I do notice a very slight improvement in the performance but it's not as fast as I was expecting. I guess since the system I'm hosting on is only a P3600 with 128MB RAM it's probably the interpreted Perl CGI code that's bogging it down now. By the way, what is an appropriate cache memory size for such a system? Is there a point where too much allocated memory does more harm than good? -----Original Message----- From: Victoria Reznichenko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 11:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Cache problem in 4.1 "Landers, Jason" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My web site is pulling from several tables that don't change all that often > and seems to be an ideal candidate for query caching.
