Noob to cache - question

[0xym0r0n]

So this

$value = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_DataRegistry')->get('yourKey');

reference: http://xenforo.com/community/thread...ll-users-over-several-runs.33600/#post-382901

vs

 return $this->getModelFromCache ('yourKey');

In ControllerPublic...


I see that the mb size and queries are the same for my add-on when I switch between them. Is there no difference other than how much it can store?
Which would you use?
I'm retrieving a variable amount of items which can be large and small. For now I'm using the getModelFromCache.

I'm new to MVC and I'm new to cacheing data Pardon this special question please.
Thanks <3

I believe getModelFromCache uses the first bit of code internally. The controllers just have a wrapper function (a rather common practice really).
