Are rendered posts cached?

Are rendered posts cached in xenforo? So that the server does not render the post again everytime it displays it?

As in Zend or in another way? http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.12/de/zend.cache.frontends.html

Nope. XenForo does not pre-render posts. That is an optimization I might expect to see in a future version.

OK. I then request it as a ten-line or less addon here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/100-€-cache-xenforo-posts-in-zend.36814/

Digitalpoint mentioned something about this a while ago. He may have implemented it already for all we know.

It should be extremely easy. Just listen to the rendered post function and try to fetch it from the cache (#postid) first before executing it. If its not in there yet, run the rendered post function and save the result to the cache (#postid). Should be around 10 lines of code.

What about post edits? Would they be "pushed" into the cache?

Considering the performance of the file cache adapter of Zend Cache, I'm not sure that performance would be improved.
The APC cache is too small to contain hundreds or thousands of messages, so caching rendered posts would be only interesting with Memcached.

In my opinion, save the messages pre-rendered in the database would be sufficient for most users.

I did build one (it ends up making threads render about twice as fast overall). But it was really designed for in-house use (doesn't take into account style or language variations since my site only uses one style and one language) and doesn't take into account special permissions with attachments (everyone can see attachments that can see the post they are in on my site).
