Re: A good hitrate!

Stefan,

        With increased hit rates comes down sides. There are always
trade-offs!

        But if you really want to know how to get quite a high hit rate
you should try experimenting with the refresh_pattern. The longer you
allow it to stay in the cache, the better (for hit rate stats). But, the
trade off is the possibility that your "clients" may not see the most up
to date information in some places.

Seeya,

Dave.
