ctools_entity_field_content_type_content_types uses t() too much during render time

This patch add caching for the information calculated in ctools_entity_field_content_type_content_types(). It's used in my project and reduces amount of t() calls noticeably.

Ooh! I like the cache set on here, works good marking RTBC. See if anyone has objections, if not I'll commit it.

I have several more caching patches for ctools. :)

Maybe. :)

Kars-T is correct, we need to add the ability to clear the cache for it before I commit.

I updated the patch to clear cache upon field crud operations.
The cache is also cleared when drupal_flush_all_caches() function is called (e.g. when the 'Clear all caches' button on the 'Performance' page is pressed).

BTW, the same caching can be used for entity_field_extra plugin.

This didn't end up being included in 1.6.

Unfortunately.

Saves ~50 ms off my homepage load. And remove > 480 calls to the t().

Why this excluded from 1.6?

@dillix because nobody RTBC'd it before the release was made.

thanks, yeah this should be against dev.

++1 for commit this and tag a 1.7 release.

Well done maximpodorov

Performance improvements like this one are worth a minor version . CPU cycles and IO saved from this patch allow people to get work done faster!

I recently spent a thousand dollars on hardware upgrades because I didn't have this patch and a few others that I recently discovered. In the past 2 months I've been made aware of about 5 patches to various contrib modules and drupal core that made a far bigger performance improvement than the thousand dollars worth of hardware upgrades.

This patch saves CPU cycles which saves electricity , which saves the environment, saves peoples time and saves money. It's well worth a minor version.

@joseph.olstad, what are these patches? I'd like to improve my projects also. :)

If you haven't seen this wiki it may be fun.

Thank you.

I'm also waiting for this being committed. My projects got performance and works well with this patch about a week.

Thanks everyone on this! Fixed.
