Well, let me start off by saying this. Query cache will most likely NOT reduce the time it takes for your page to load. With that said, what it does do, is reduce the load put on your server. Benchmarks can show a lot of things, but what I wanted was real world data. One of the sites I run (BagsOfCrap - For All Things Woot) gets EXTREEME amounts of traffic, but only about one to three days per month. What a perfect real world benchmark to see how good QueryCache is... |

Well, it's out! This should be the final Beta of the QueryCache component! All major (and from what I can tell most minor) bugs have been rectified. There are still a few minor issues, but they will be handled before the next release, and should not effect more than 1 or 2 sites (specific component combinations).

Edit 10-4-07. Now, there are 4 official beta revisions of Query Cache. What can I say? I found a major bug, fixed it and went through the cycle again. I'm still here, so I something must be decent...
Well, for those of you who know me, I've been talking about a new caching method for a week or two now. Well, I finally decided to break down and write it about a week or so ago. Now, after some fun in Private beta, I've chosen to release it as Public Beta!
Basically Query Cache is a new caching system for both Joomla 1.0 and Joomla 1.5 that caches SQL queries in memory. Because it's only dealing with SQL data, it doesn't care if the user is logged in or not! It will automatically delete stale queries (so your frontend is fresh)!!! Because it is memory based, you will need one of the following to use Query Cache
APC
XCache
Memcache
You can even write your own backend driver if you have another system...
Be sure to check out the FAQ for some more info!
NOTE! This is an early BETA. Be sure to backup first! Also, DO NOT USE THIS ON A LIVE SITE. Consider this component experimental...
