New caching module for complex and high-load sites

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I've just released two modules for developers and maintainers of performance-intensive sites. The first module provides a new, self-tuning, preemptive cache API for modules. It's called PressFlow Preempt. The second module (named PressFlow Preempt Panels) builds on the first by seamlessly offering cached versions of Panels.

hi david. glad you found this group and are contributing.

you might work with module authors who have done similar work in this area. we try to avoid module duplication when possible. see http://drupal.org/project/resultcache and http://drupal.org/project/blockcache

Thanks

Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard of resultcache. I'll contact the author and see if we can merge the modules. I like how his module implements the API (it allows more than one argument), but my module has a more advanced cache structure.
