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...
