True. I definitely won't say that this will solve all cases 100%. But for basic rendering.. this allows you to essentially set "expires" for fragments of the page. And yes it caches all operations that go through PageRenderSupport. And if I could take over the markupWriter properly, I would have cached and replayed those already.. but i couldn't easily do that.. But on second thought, you're right, maybe I should have cached a DOM tree.. since it would have a much better guarantees for replaying.

But on most cases, this component works pretty darn good, and we love it.

Of course trying to do evict cache on particular events is hard.. but if you are alright with "updates within 30hr" sort of cases. this is a good start.

Cache the data, make it fast to access.

Let Tapestry do a full render every time.

You'll end up with confusing, unforseen consequences.

Rendering is increasingly a complex dance between components.  That's
the power and the penalty of Tapestry.  Components inside that cached
zone are not just rendering a character stream, they are generating
JavaScript, assigning unique ids (via PageRenderSupport) interacting
with an enclosing Form components, and doing other user-specific
things.

I would always look elsewhere first for places that need optimization,
and I'd start with database access and queries.

We have a component that we call "Buffer" :) it takes a timeout,
 optional cachekey, and optional lastmodified (to tell you)

 We have it for Tap4 and Tap5, if anyone really wants it, I bet I can
 liberate it.. you would just have to change the cache hooks to use
 whatever cache you want to use...

 The easiest way to add caching to the app. :)

So the main application simply includes those HTML fragments within milliseconds.
