image chaching

[Dustin Sallings]

   How many images do you plan on having active in cache?  You  
couldn't have very many at 1MB without spending an enormous amount of  
money on keeping them off disk.

   One of my apps is an image server which has hierarchical cache  
mechanism that allows me to have a soft reference cache over memcached  
over a disk-based cache.  Various layers will reject items that are  
too big.  In my case, smaller images will go into memcached, but most  
full-size images never will.
