miscellany: need to cache db queries.

Since the db for the site is going to be remotely hosted, it'd probably speed things up a bit to cache some queries to the site, and only perform a query against the remote db if the cached version is too old.

Also wondering about trying the alternative PHP cache. Depends on wherever hosting ends up.

Going to bed, now. Fingers don't work, and everything looks like static. No more coding for me tonight, thanks.

Sorry, wrote a comment about this last night, but probably forgot to actually post it.

I *meant* to say alternative PHP cache.

As far as I (mis)understand, it will cache compiled versions of PHP scripts, which should reduce server load by greatly reducing runtime parsing/compiling.

By the way, DH uses the Zend Optimizer by default.

So let's hope that the comment actually shows up this time, and doesn't just get eaten like yesterday's comment.

Ah. Won't allow me to do 'target="_blank"', which is why the damn thing didn't post yesterday.
