This is a lazy answer, but it needs to be said: it depends on the context and the number of roundtrips to the cache. If we're talking about a vanilla object cache, I think that it probably only costs 50% or so to make the extra copies and system calls. However, an in-memory "cache" can be something more than just a key-value store. E.g., for the thing I'm building right now, there are some more structurally complex graph structures that need to be traversed with every request to the "cache", and of course making a localhost RPC call for each entry/exit to the cache is really problematic. Though I admit that most caching is unsophisticated stuff, and in those cases it's just a ~2x difference. |
