[wp-hackers] Questions about the Cache

[David Chait]

Actually, someone can correct me, but options caching and the wp 'object 
cache' are I think different beasts.  Options caching is built directly into 
the options system, whereas the object cache is made to cache more 'general' 
queries to SQL.

In any case, if you are on a shared server, don't enable the wp object 
cache.  It can actually hurt performance, and on some servers its 
functionality is 'broken' and it actually spikes cpu usage.  The object 
cache is IMHO only to be used on dedicated servers, by a coder/admin who 
knows what they are doing (and probably using one of the replacement 
implementations, such as memcached, APC, etc.).
