The Release Notes for v6 include:
ID caching (6.0 DP 2)
New global property – allowDatagramBroadcasts (6.0 DP 2)
A new global property allowDatagramBroadcasts has been added. This
needs to be set to true before sending to a broadcast address
(enables the per-socket flag for whether they are allowed).
The engine now caches lookups of control references of the form
“card id ...” and “control id ...”.
This speeds up any access using those forms after the first time,
turning an operation that would be completed in linear time into
one that will be completed in constant time.
I'm not clear on the syntax, so I've been unable to benchmark the
performance boost.
I think the datagram stuff and the image caching are two different
things (if it's in the docs that way, it looks like a misplaced heading
to me.) The image caching just happens automatically. Benchmarking would
involve timing a procedure in 5.5.4 and then repeating it in 6.0.1 to
see the difference.
