OK, I made some suggestions that cached connections can be slower (in

Let me emphasize that I am NOT saying that caching is bad...in fact I
believe a well engineered caching architecture is essential to providing
consistent performance at a reasonable cost, so I'm all for it.

I am merely interested in understanding all the technical details and
variables that come into play when you introduce caching.  So here's
some hard data, including packet traces for those that are interested:
