Beaker caching performance guideline


I was implemented beaker with a cherrypy application, but after some requests, the beaker response time increases about 10-14 seconds.

i think after including 500 to 1000 items in cache, beaker goes down.

all cached types are simple(str,int,list,tuple,...)


Solution

  • I Found the problem, The beaker have some performance problems with file type back-end. simply i changed the

    'cache.type' : 'file'
    

    to:

    'cache.type' : 'dbm'
    

    and everything is so good!!!

    when type is file beaker uses python pure pickle library to serialize the object. and pickle does not good for large objects.
