    This is Pure Gold. Just install it and enjoy the show. The fast show.

    Oliver Jones is a genius. Just don’t listen to him when he says that you should use Redis instead, if available. I think he does it out of respect for his muse.

    Actually, in most cases, SQLite Object Cache outperforms Redis Object Cache. Just try yourself. Furthermore, it’s 100% portable. You know how that is convenient, especially if you tried to migrate a WP installation with Redis to another server.

    I think it should be part of the WP core. They still haven’t realized why.

    You should also check www.ads-software.com/plugins/index-wp-mysql-for-speed/, another hidden gem from Oliver.

    Aaaawwww, thanks Mom! ??

    Seriously, I’ve had this specific feedback about performance from several users. So, I’ve taken your advice and toned down the “use redis if you have it” material in the readme.txt file for the version just released.

    I’ve been thinking about hacking up Mr. Krüss’s redis plugin (the free version) to gather the same sort of performance stats this plugin gathers. Or maybe the one in the LiteSpeed cache, because that also runs with memcached. So we can actually predict performance under load a little bit maybe. Honestly, though, there are a lot of factors involved in performance measurement of a client-server interaction. Reliably measuring an in-process operation like a SQLite query is much more straightforward.

    Thanks for the explanation! Yes, comparison is not an easy task when several variable factors are involved. Glad to see you’re figuring out how to further improve the caching method.

    You updated the FAQ too. Well done! You might want to fix the “tbe” typo on description.

    I ran a cheesy object-cache benchmark comparing Redis to this one. See here.

    Fetching an item from this SQLite object cache is 14 times faster than from Redis. And setting an item is about 2.5 times faster. That’s remarkable.

    Impressive! (assuming the benchmark measures real world performance)
