[opencms-dev] Reduce calls to DB

Tom,

The flex cache only caches the HMTL-output of a JSP in OpenCms.
If does not cache permission checks for example which have to be done 
everytime you request something from OpenCms.

To reduce the number of requests that are sent to the DB, you could use 
the OCEE Accelerator, which actually is a cache that is sitting right 
between OpenCms and the database. This would the the recommenced way to 
go for heavy load sites.


Kind regards,
Michael
