win in its previous form. Maybe something using a timer thread to invalidate? Seems wrong.
*shudder* starting threads without somebody asking for it is a big no-no for a library. I find the mention of it appalling.
Yeah, yeah. I hear you loud and clear, as "appalling" certainly confirms my own aversion to this approach.
Can either you or Erik provide me with a before/after scenario that led Erik to code ZipCache as it stands? There seems to be little subjective difference that I can tell loading without ZipCache in my patches. Alesssio's information about the "hidden" ZipCache in the JVM would explain this absence of difference, but I would like to at least take a stab at "proving" that not using it in Load hasn't made a difference.
