Nod. As I just said in my last reply to Dancer, miss_access is global, so
while I'm prepared to trust "some" neighbors, "some" might take advantage
of the fact . It seems that both our cache's (by looking at cachemgr) are
between 50 and 60 % hit - I'm gald that's considered optimal I would've
been happy with 20% or so :-)

Excellent. Roll on 2.1beta and the occasional coredump <grin> :-)
