Caching Using Application Variables

[paul_harv]

HI,

Our site uses data in XML documents on the back end and XSLT to transorm this
to HTML on the fly.

I've implemented a caching mechanism whereby I store the full HTML output from
each transformation in a structure. The structure is stored as an application
variable.

This structure can end up storing 1000's of pages. At approx 30KB per page
that could be easily be 100 MB stored in memory.

Given that the machines running the app have tons of memory (many GB's) is
there anything fundamentally risky with this approach?

Thanks,

Paul

Sounds like a good idea, the site should smoke. Have you considered setting up a ram drive and caching the files to that volume?
