[Darien Caldwell]

heh, one of the most perplexing non-answers I think i've seen. No worries though. I've long decided my course of action as related to the cache improvements.  Thanks.

    On a related note, I would like to ask Linden Lab, if a better cache system was developed by someone for inclusion in the viewer, what is the likelihood that such a patch would be accepted? Is LL willing to do any/some/all of the things suggested or is all this discussion for naught?  Are there any hard requirements to make a new cache system acceptable for the production viewer, or any things which would absolutely preclude a particular cache system from being accpeted?

  A better cache system has already been developed. It's called HTTP.

  I think I finally wrapped my brain around REST. Its 'everything is a file' reinvented for the age of ubiquitous internet connectivity.
