Hi Rene, Separate global and local caches would certainly be a refinement.
It’s not free, though, as platforms differ on where an appropriate place to write a global cache is. And the code has to be able to combine the two (that might be easy or it might not — it’s been too long since I’ve been in that area to remember).
