[TYPO3-dev] MENUDATA caching problems

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi Patrick,

i did some research but a while ago, so i don't know if my remembering 
is all correct.

I agree the cache mechanism of current menu is senseless as the complete 
menu states are cached. And each page has different one (regarding to 
the active items)

Imho caching the menu structure with links etc is a good idea because 
it's expensive to calculate new, but the states like active has to be 
excluded. This would lead to the situation that one cache entry is valid 
for the complete site and some subentries are needed. The markup could 
be done dynamic as this is not the expensive part, expensive are the sql 
queries, the access settings etc.

So we have need a better layer system for the menu generation.
