multiple pools in Java

[Mybrid Spalding]

Hi!
  Happy Thursday! Thanks so much for replying.
  Ok, here is more detail. We  are having excellent success with this 
very well designed product. One problem we are having is that large 
objects only have a cache hit rate of 45% while small objects are 90% 
plus. We speculate the root cause is that our web site uses objects of 
every size imaginable and that there is not enough slab space for large 
sized objects.  We'd like to experiment with segmenting by writing 
objects larger than X to one cache pool where we tune X.
  Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. JFYI, your cache 
has helped us nearly double our bandwidth and we really truly appreciate 
this product.

Thanks!
