Reads are not cached if I understand the code correctly. They are read out of the DB every single time. See Parser::Event.

Also see any references to QGlobalCache::GetBucket - That is never used for anything other than 'combining'.

You're right, Parser::Event accesses the database. Parser::Event is also never called.

Yep when I realised I had a good laugh :p

Honestly after reading through all this code - It has become to clear to me that I will probably never use qglobals (until now I had nothing against it). I would feel much more confident in using what I have made. It may not be as fast (I can not even determine that for sure) but it is simple, has few moving parts. If something breaks I do not need to dig through thousands of lines of code.

Each to there own.

If you find a way to break qglobals I'll give you a gold star.

Necro'ing post, yeah, I know.

No need for the gold star, I'd rather have a fix please.

I do wish I could extend a hand, however, in my limited C++ knowledge (pales in comparison), I cannot find the source of the issue. Sorry.
