I've just released two modules for developers and maintainers of performance-intensive sites. The first module provides a new, self-tuning, preemptive cache API for modules. It's called PressFlow Preempt. The second module (named PressFlow Preempt Panels) builds on the first by seamlessly offering cached versions of Panels.

prior art - resultcache and blockcache
hi david. glad you found this group and are contributing.
you might work with module authors who have done similar work in this area. we try to avoid module duplication when possible. see http://drupal.org/project/resultcache and http://drupal.org/project/blockcache
Thanks
Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard of resultcache. I'll contact the author and see if we can merge the modules. I like how his module implements the API (it allows more than one argument), but my module has a more advanced cache structure.
Joining forces
It makes sense to combine the efforts into a single module.
