I’ve been exploring the new version of the Movable Type blogging engine, and I’ve decided to try turning on some of the caching options.
For various reasons, I run Windypundit in dynamic publishing mode, which means that every time someone refreshes the page, the back end rebuilds the entire page from scratch. That’s a little slow, but the new Movable Type allows me to specify parts of the page that are generated once and then cached, so that next time someone requests the page, those parts are pulled from the cache instead of being rebuilt from the database.
I’m not sure any of you will notice a change. Most of the loading time for Windypundit is spent on third-party Javascript thingies such as advertising and statistical counters.
Let me know if you notice a difference. Especially if I broke something.
