Hi again, I read my email back and found a little hard to understand :)), so I thought a code exmplae might help. It's just pseudo code for explaining how my cache works:
//simplified "main" code if page is in cache { deliver the old one register_shutdown_function("regenerate") } else { regenerate() deliver } //registered shutdown function function regenerate() { if it's locked by another process { return } else { lock require_once(...); require_once(...); require_once(...); require_once(...); require_once(...); creation of many classes calling of many methods (the code is approx 1,6Megs) store unlock } } The main code delivers the page and reigsters the regenerate() function, and that's all what it should do. It takes about 0.04s, but this time unfortunately depends on what the regenerate() function does. If the page is locked then it finishes quickly (the overall time is 0.04s again), but when it can be regenerated it takes 0.25s. By the way the whole page regeneration takes 1.1s, that's why I really don't understand the 0.25s. I hope it was clearer with the two mails :)), and someone has an idea of whats happening here.
