## Description

Cache Money stores all database result sets on the filesystem as serialized data,
by using the oft-neglectged wp-content/db.php to extend the normal $wpdb class. 
Result sets will be updated as needed on a user by user basis when they do actions
that perform update queries.

Please note that this is not a full scale page cache, like WP-Cache or WP Super 
Cache, although this will work just fine in conjunction. Cache Money is meant for
sites with constantly changing content, where a full cache may not be suitable.

Tested with WordPress and WordPress MU 2.8.0 ~ 3.1
 Requires PHP 5, like all good
PHP apps.

## FAQ

#### This doesn’t do anything!

Yes it does. Hey, didn’t you ask this question over on my other plugin too?

#### I need the cache to be cleared at a different interval than 5 minutes.

Change `$cacheMoney->threshold` to whatever number of seconds you wish.

#### How can I tell if this is working?

The directory wp-content/plugins/wpdb-cache-money/ should be full of files with 
names similar to `4a13fc6a615ac14cc3f58160ce9c52f3.php`. If not, check to make sure
this directory is writable by your server. `echo $wpdb->stats(TRUE)` will give you
a result like `q: 9 | c: 6 | m: 9.055 t: 0.171`. `q` is the number of actual database
queries, `c` is the number of cached queries, `m` is the memory usage in megabytes,
and `t` is the time in seconds to render the page. `echo $wpdb->stats()` will do
the same, wrapped in an html comment, for times when you need to be discrete. There
is also a profiler method – `echo $wpdb->profiler()`. You will need to make sure`
$cacheMoney->useProfiler` is set to `TRUE` to use this. The default for the profiler
is to sort the queries by length of time descending. `$wpdb->profiler(FALSE)` will
show the queries in the order performed.
