But if you have a Redis cache on the same box (he says he only has one box anyway) it's still in the same category: "Main physical memory", with maybe some communication overheard.

"maybe some communication overheard" is orders of magnitude slower than L1/L2.

Hmm, there is something very wrong here. I'll try and explain in a blog post.

But we're not talking register caches. 800 megs stashed in a giant Java hash are not going to be in L1 or L2 cache.
