Don't bother using this module ??

Won't this module help if using the eck module?

I think the purpose of this "disinviting" module description is to make interested people clear that this module isn't an alternative or even replacement for caching technologies like memcache. Indeed this description is really self-pessimistic :D although the module is pretty useful to reduce expensive queries in terms of entities.

Won't this module help if using the eck module?

Unless ECK doesn't integrate with Entity Cache, no. I don't know ECK so I can't say if it does already. Otherwise this would be feature request for ECK and is not an issue for Entity Cache.

You'll get less database queries on cache hits, but you get an extra database write on cache misses. On sites with lots of content, or low traffic, that could be a net loss in performance.

When using memcache, both the reads and writes are taken off the database server entirely, which is why the project description suggests to do that first.

hi @catch and @all

thanks for those clarifications.. i know this is closed but i need on more advice about Filecache Module which is a kind of alternative for memcache. And, if i am not wrong and not saying nonsense, i think Filecahce works like Memechace (as you said "both the reads and writes are taken off the database server entirely" ) will it logically means that Entitycache will works nicely with Filecache ?

thanks

@delacosta456, that question is off-topic here and unlikely to get a good/timely response. Moving back to closed.
