In the context of the current state of the mem cache, yes, I do consider that a bad idea. The mem cache is not well tested. And in addition, on systems with good buffer caches, the disk cache will be able to share one memory/buffer cached object across all threads and processes and use zero-copy IO (sendfile) to deliver it to the network. > > I'm preparing a patch to correct the mem module bug, and writing a new > cache module based on shared memory. > Do you think that such new module will be useful for the community ? Possibly. You'd need to show that it actually outperformed the disk cache in some scenarios. It's a topic you should definitely bring up on the dev list rather than here.
