TYPO3 Core

Hey Claus,

closing here as we - for the reasons you gave - now have new cache presets explaining the circumstances on when to use what and providing an easy way to choose the correct one:

"Storing the caches in the database is usually the best choice for standard environments as well as for installations where a network file system (NFS) is used and file system access impacts the performance and should be avoided (high disk I/O).

The file-based storage for TYPO3 caches is more efficient in shared hosting environments or if a distributed database is used.

For more complex, high-end installations, memory-based caches such as Redis or Memcached should be considered which require additional configuration in "LocalConfiguration.php". "

I think this is enough (especially as changing defaults has its own impact and upgrade path problems).

If you think this should be done anyway, you can of course reopen it to work on it :)
