Description: ------------ We may be able to get improved read performance of cache files (on the possible expense of slower writes), if we add another "mode" of operation to Container/file.php: (some pseudo code:) Instead of doing $cachedata = $this->decode(fread($fh, filesize($file))); the read could be implemented as: $cachedata = include($file); The save method would accordingly use something like: $cachedata = `var_export(func_get_arg(0), true)`; Obviously objects in the input data would have to be serialized first, this is probably the only real drawback.
