Caching helps. . Normal caching policies like LRU aren't well suited for analytic computations where both the cost of recomputation and the cost of storage routinely vary by one million or more. . Cachey tries to hold on to values that have the following characteristics . 1. Expensive to recompute (in seconds) 2. Cheap to store (in bytes) 3. Frequently used 4. Recenty used
