We have diskless ZEO clients (Netboot). There is really no reason for our ZEO clients to write their caches to the disk (RAM Disk). Can we turn this off? To free up RAM for the other caches?
That's a new use scenario for me. You can't turn the ZEO cache off. But I think you misunderstand the purpose of the ZEO cache. If you don't have a reasonably-sized ZEO cache, you lose big because you have to go to the server for *every* request. The ZEO cache caches a different kind of data than the other caches, and it caches this data *only* to disk, so it's not the case that it's wasting RAM disk space by writing cached data to disk that's also in memory. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
