Hi,

Currently i'm using Zend_Cache_Backend_File for caching my project (especially responses from external web services). I was wandering if I could find some benefit in migrating the structure to Zend_Cache_Backend_Sqlite.

Possible advantages are:

  • File system is well-ordered (only 1 file in cache folder)
  • Removing expired entries should be quicker (my assumption, since zend wouldn't need to scan internal-metadatas for expiring date of each cache)

Possible disadvantages:

  • Finding record to read (with files zend check if file exists based on filename and should be a bit quicker) in term of speed.

I've tried to search a bit in internet but it seems that there are not a lot of discussion about the matter.

What do you think about it?

Thanks in advance.
