Need help with cache / code change or feature request. - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support


i have been looking @ several solutions caching joomla.
memcache terribly slow... due how communicates.
file caching great.... almost, post explain.

file caching great can better. needs cleared out on daily basis easy cron job. secondly, able chose cache folder within administration panel. reason this.... create tmpfs drive in memory , have cache ran there. eliminate ton of wear , tear off of server's hdd's (all reads , writes made memory instead of hdd... cache). memory way faster disk drives, performance should fast!

i can apply code changes, not programmer. idea's on how can this, or if joomla devs idea, when can cache component updated allow admin specify cache folder. code changes, setup simple: /tmp (absolute path, drive in memory).

currently running joomla! 2.5.6

thanks in advance can provided!

after testing out makeshift solution... replacing joomla cache folder symbolic link folder in virtual drive..... here results:

memcached - 11 25 second page load time
file cache - 9 14 second page load
file cache redirected tmpfs - 5 6 second page load

i feel thread should changed feature request. having ability manually set cache path outside of joomla installation increase security make upgrades easier (without having reapply these set of changes).
