Benefits for Gallery: - There are about 3000 is_file() invocations for a photo / album page in a vanilla Gallery installation. These are mostly triggered by Kohana::find_file(). - Enabling internal_cache doesn't help at all (see explanation below). The number of is_file() invocations is about the same with or without this cache. - With this patch, more than 95% of these invocations are gone. The cache works as intended. Kohana's internal_cache for find_file wasn't working in Gallery because the cache would be emptied on each request after reading it from disk and before most lookups would run. 1. Bootstrap sets initial core.modules (= include path): forge, kohana23_compat, gallery. 2. Kohana::setup() loads find_file cache from disk. 3. Gallery loads list of active modules and themes, and updates the core.modules value (=include path), which forces the internal find_file cache to be empties (which makes sense). 4. Request processing starts, and thus 80+% of all Kohana::find_file() triggered is_file() invocations start off with an empty find_file cache. The patch doesn't have a significant impact on performance for Kohana applications which don't change their include paths at runtime (after Kohana::setup). And the patch should benefit all Kohana applications which have modules / extensions, i.e. which first need to bootstrap Kohana before they can load a list of all active modules from the database.
