Hi,
Radiant uses YAML for caching pages, but I think Marshal is better. I
recommend Marshal because YAML has a problem of handling multi-byte
characters and YAML is slower than Marshal. I attached the patch for
using Marshal, this works fine in my environment.
- multi-byte characters problem
I experienced a problem that pages including japanese characters were
broken. This is the same as “[Radiant] Cache problems” by bodhi.
(see
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00660.html)
When I try Marshal for caching, pages including japanese characters are
fine.
I think YAML has a problem of handling multi-byte characters.
- YAML is slower than Marshal
I compared YAML and Marshal performance by runing “test.rb”(attached
this mail), the result is
YAML(dump):8.319402
Marshal(dump):0.323576
YAML(load):1.252383
Marshal(load):0.374623
I think caching by YAML has no advantage(excuding debug?). Maybe it
would be better to replace YAML by Marshal or use Marshal in
production environment.
