Thoughts on a feature cache for queries...

[Steve Lime]

Hi all: What would folks think about implementing a simple feature cache for storing query results? I know Tamas has something grander planned but it seems a ways off and implementation with queries may be problematic anyway. We could use the featureList structures that form a linked list containing shapeObj's. I've always been a bit hesitant to do this because with large datasets you could use a ton of memory, but the performance bottlenecks with the two-pass query probably out weigh that problem. If folks are somewhat positive about the idea I'd be glad to work up an RFC...
