Thats interesting. Wouldnt it be beneficial to have some configuration
function that you could run that would populate memory (or a ram disk) with the
"most requested" objects over a selected period? It seems that any given network
would have a pattern over a several day period that would likely be more
representative than "most recently accessed" over a 60 minute period.
