[Opensim-dev] HUGE ASSET CACHE

[Mike Dickson]

Given the recent changes for modularity has there been any thought to
being able to configure a seperate shared cache across multiple regions.
Something like the Jakarta JCS stuff (http://jakarta.apache.org/jcs/)
comes to mind.  I'm not suggesting that specific implementation but
simply that if you provide a way to specify assets such that you can
interpose a shared cache in the middle (not directly tied to a single
region) you might see better cache utilization with overall memory use
lower.  I don't know how often the current caching code does cache
invalidation (or even if it does) but having a shared cache across
multiple regions might lower that overhead as well.
