Cache index/forum/thread pages on server.

[Halx]

I've heard of a way one can cache pages on the server every 30 seconds or so, so that users wont send through 20+ queries every time they load a page. Instead they load the cached page that is updated with changes every X seconds.

I understand this requires PEAR PHP Extention, which is all ready included in php4.

Does anyone have any insight on this?

There is a similar hack for showthread in the Beta Hack that works - it only updates when server loads go below a certain level that you set - take a look - it works.

This is old but I am very interested in this.

Any help to know where I can find a hack for this?

It would help a lot!
