Caching CMS postings
There is no cache for HTML files in CMS. Stefan mentioned output and
fragment caching, which uses RAM to store CMS content so a database hit is
not required. However, the only "HTML" saved in the filesystem is the ASP
or ASPX template files.
CMS2001 had the option of using Site Stager to stage a static "cache" of
postings as HTML files. However, this was only updated on a schedule and
limited in functionality (though it worked well at what it did). CMS2002
does not have Site Stager available for .NET based templates, only ASP
templates, and Site Stager will most likely disappear in the next release.
So, for CMS I suggest using programmatic caching (output caching for
ASP.NET, fragment caching for ASP). If you server has enough RAM you should
be good, as RAM is much faster than a hard drive anyway.
