   I've got about 40000 posts and I'm using mod_rewrite cache.

   Only Single Posts (is_single), Pages (is_page), Front Page (is_front_page) and Feeds (is_feed) is cached.

   I've currently put 0 in Expiry Time and have built my own program that deletes feeds and front page manually every 10 minutes.

   In my situation, I would rather like to use garbage collection, but not for Single Posts and Pages. Only for Front Page and Feeds.

   If I put 600 in Expiry Time and check "Preload mode". Will Single Posts and Pages be untouched, and Front Page and Feeds garbage collected?

   The docs say: "In ’Preload Mode’ regular garbage collection will only clean out old legacy files for known users, not the preloaded supercache files. This is a recommended setting when the cache is preloaded."

   As you can see, I'm not sure what this means. What does "legacy files" mean? And how do you define "known users"?

   And I also wonder how smart your garbage collection is. Will it loop thru all my 40000 cached posts every time, or is it smarter than that?

   Yes, in preload mode your supercached files won't be removed unless you have a preload interval != 0. Once a preload happens all stale files are prone to garbage collection.

   See the docs for a fairly in-depth explanation for known users and legacy files. I'd only be copy/pasting what's there.

   GC is fairly dumb, it goes through all the cached posts looking for old files.
