Hello, here's a question that has many subsections. 1. How suitable is Apache 2.2.x on Win32 for running with a huge file cache (1-2 GB and more) of hundreds of thousands of small image files? 2. If mod_mem_cache is used under Windows, would the portion of memory used by the cache always be in the physical memory, or is there a risk of it getting swapped out? 3. Is there any dedicated Apache module for large file cache? 4. Just how much overhead maintaining and updating a file cache of that size implies? 5. Is there any dedicated server software (Win32 or Linux/*BSD) that can handle a large file cache consisting of hundreds of thousands of small image files? Thanks for the attention, D. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Not far from here, by a white sun, behind a green star, lived the Steelypips, illustrious, industrious, and they hadn't a care: no spats in their vats, no rules, no schools, no gloom, no evil influence of the moon, no trouble from matter or antimatter -- for they had a machine, a dream of a machine, with springs and gears and perfect in every respect.
