Recommendation for cache settings

Permalink
I have looked high and low on information on the recommended settings for the new cache functionality in 5.4.1.

What settings are people using?

Is there an explanation on how each of the settings works?

I have currently have basic cache enabled and full page cache disabled.

I tried having full page enabled if blocks allow it ... but had issues with gallery blocks not appearing after changes were made.

Pages also seemed to load slower.

The site in question runs on a shared server that supports zend.

Thanks

The C5 core team said they were going to write up an article about this. I have not seen anything on the subject yet and would love to read more into it.

Right now I have the default cache enabled if blocks allow it with a 1200 minute expire time. Seems to work well.

Would also love to know more about the new blog functionality as well.

I am also searching for some documentation about the best setting for cache.

For now i have also got the dafault cache enabled if blocks allow with a 120 minute expiry time.

I'd like to know how the "Basic cache" actually works...

Given it's based on Zend_cache, is there some web or command line tool already in existence that'll read the contents of the metadata in /files/cache/ and let you look at items and expiry times?

Also - /concrete/libraries/cache.php has a function called 'set' to add items to the cache which can take an expiry time as a parameter, but I can't find any default config setting for it... I have full page caching turned off but I note if you read the metadata for some of the cache items they still show an expiry exactly 2 hours after the mtime...
