CACHE_DB slow
Is it ok to updtae the CACHE_DB entry to this? --Subfader 22:23, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * CACHE_DB - Store cache objects in the DB (might be slower than not caching at all)

CACHE_ANYTHING
In what order does it try? How does it determine what works and what doesn't? Happy Joetalk 05:13, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * And most importantly, if it's able to determine what works why isn't it default? --Nemo 18:22, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Performance
hi yeah, there needs to be a performance table and preference for setup type thing. so far i have a shotgun blast of caches, and reverse proxies. to avoid making mediawiki look like junk, i suggest you have a highest performance method.... do i want accel, or memcached as my main cache? or redis? i can do redis but im going to need some why first. i can install varnish, or squid do i want to back down my primary caching or set it to something else? im worried about MW, none of its documentations procedural and its all a big disorganized schizophrenic mess. 666threesixes666 (talk) 04:28, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

$wgMainCacheType to fast local cache or shared cache when using multiple servers?
I am getting really confused where some page documented that $wgMainCacheType should be shared cache (redis/memcached), while others state that "....This is not true of $wgMainCacheType, which should be a fast and local-only cache...." I am very sure that $wgParserCacheType & $wgSessionCacheType need to be shared. How about $wgMainCacheType? --Zoglun (talk) 22:53, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
