Ok, its the former then. Slower than what? The great thing about HN, and similar discussion systems you'll find on the internet, is that you can read the conversation. So when I say "slower", and reference "antrix", a sentient (or even a reasonable AI) could infer that I was referring to this statement, by antrix: >If I replace my memcache logic with an in-memory thread-safe hashmap, it will always be faster. I can't see how it can be slow. And that you replied to by quoting it. Clearly, by reading the english therein, antrix is comparing the memcache logic with a thread-safe hashmap. So in case you still aren't getting it, the answer to your question "Slower than what?" is "than a thread-safe hashmap". That you are not aware that this was antrix's assertion would explain why your subsequent posts fail to refute it. So your behavior is not merely that of a response factory, but a response factory with a 1 deep context buffer.
