A long time ago, I wrote but never deployed a filesystem-based cache for my
aether blog. This weekend, I cleaned it up and it's now running live on my
blog. I hope nothing weird pops up as a result.
<p>The ultimate goal of this is to try to get the websites that are running
on my home system onto a web hosting provider, where CPU and disk I/O are
at much more of a premium. So far, it improves the time loading the front
page of my blog by about a factor of 360 (yes—not 360%, 360 times) on the
local network when a cached respones can be used , which should make it quite
fast enough to run even on a shared hosting system like dreamhost.
<p>URLs with query parts ("?…") are never cached, so if you read me via rss, may I
suggest to use the URL <a href="http://emergent.unpythonic.net/_atom">http://emergent.unpythonic.net/_atom</a> if you
are not already.
<p>If you spot any problems, drop me an e-mail.
