cache router

Spent A LOT of time over the past few days really getting into the bugs in Cache Router. This module is now entering the 1.0 release candidate world. It now "just works". For a lot of people it should be as easy as installing the module, adding the configs to settings.php and watching your site be 20-50% faster.

For bigger sites, this module will allow you to scale to great heights using memcache.

Here you go: 1.0-rc1 release - http://bit.ly/CMRRW Project page: http://drupal.org/project/cacherouter

Here is my initial post about performance tuning our site http://www.divx.com/ This is mainly a place for me to brain dump and spark discussion and hopefully open up issues to track and get some of these fixes into Drupal core.
