Regarding your second point. I'd be interested to see figures for how many web requests globally are fulfilled by a shared cache. My gut feeling is that it is a very small proportion of the total.
- JangoSteve 16y agoYeah, I'd be interested too. Though, entire web requests wouldn't be fulfilled by a shared cache, just cached assets with proper Expires headers, such as javascripts, stylesheets, etc. I actually wouldn't be incredibly surprised to learn that shared caches in proxy servers are quite efficient at serving cached content. If you think about it, it's in internet providers' best interest to make their proxy servers good at caching, because it would allow them to provide more content to their customers with less bandwidth, which of course affects their bottom-line.
