I put in a bunch of work on Cache Router today. The brand new 1.0-Beta6 release is out for 5.x and 6.x.

Check it out here: http://drupal.org/project/cacherouter

You should see some noticeable improvement on speed.

Here are the fixes:

Fixed a bunch of bugs and added simpletests.

#273618 by Nick_vh: Fixed checking for gzip in both the content and in the browser request.
#288318 by Jo Wouters: Fix for wildcard replacement.
#313289 by Murz: Fix for wrong check for $map initialization. We should be checking $this->map not $map.

Finally got around to updating the blog to Drupal 6. As with anything new, I thought it needed a face lift as I never really liked the old one too much.

Any input about the design would be awesome.

Welcome to my new theme "Road to Hell."

I have been working on upgrading the caching contrib modules to Drupal 6 and started to notice some patterns and duplicated code, which led me to think Drupal's approach to caching in general. We currently have a fairly limited API for caching, but we have a magic bullet that helps us overcome some of these weaknesses: the cache.inc override system. Anyone who has spent time on large production sites knows that one of the easiest ways to see better performance on your Drupal system is to use one of the existing cache mechanisms that I spoke about at Drupalcon Boston.

I have been working on client problem that causes their site to segfault every time any serious load hits.  We have tried all kinds of fixes for this to no avail.  What we have been doing to rectify the problem was to run the logwatcher script from Workhabit (The company formerly known as Firebright).

Welcome to my new theme. Out with the old and in with the new hotness.

Hope you like it.
