I do some things very similar to this that involve grabbing some list-like data, and then fetching items related to items within the list. As many as I can get come from cache, and the rest have to be fetched from the source, and then placed back into the cache.<br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div>-- </div><div>Dustin Sallings</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span> </div><br></body></html>
