Believe me that Squid is *way* faster than any php caching system will
ever be- with modification date checking or not.
This thread is about disk access on the temporary database server.
No matter how insanely fast the caching is, it doesn't happen on the
database server. Superduperfast squid caching that doesn't touch the
database server and kinda speedy php caching that doesn't touch the
database server are exactly equal in the eyes of the database server.
Lemme put it this way: you're talking about tuning up the engine on a
car, when we're trying to discuss how the tires all are flat and the
parking brake is stuck on. The car's not going to go very fast in this
condition no matter how much the engine is improved.
