Hi,

How is this different from CacheRouter's file caching? Does CacheRouter's method return the same generic output for everyone, and this AuthCache pulls in the personalized bits to plug them into the otherwise generic output?

Authcache adds a layer for serving cached pages to both anonymous and authenticated users, while CacheRouter is a cache handler for storing/retrieving Drupal cache data. Authcache adds additional functionality (like supporting the statistics module) and fixes some bugs that CacheRouter has (see http://drupal.org/node/422250) for serving cached pages. Authcache is more of a layer that sits on top of CacheRouter and gives the ability to serve cached pages to authenticated users.

Thanks for the details.

It's starting to look like CacheRouter is more about how data is cached, and AuthCache is more about what is cached.
