I'm Bluffing

Yesterday's Sitecore User Group presentation was a success. It was hard to get everything crammed into one presentation but I pulled it off in the end. It is a hard task to get the correct feeling and bring it across correctly but I gave it my best shot Download the information and slideware here: http://files.meetup.com/14353282/Sitecore%20symposium%202014-SUG-BELUX.pptx If you have any more questions or want me to give more detailed information feel free to contact me directly.

Since we saw the following in our logs: As you can see, each of these caches took up 500KB and in our case (since 7 caches were created) this resulted in a 3,5MB of consumed memory on the server for each page request.
