In reply to Jack.

“Jack” — I removed your URL.

They can’t be compared as they don’t serve the same purposes. It’s like asking if grabbing a value from RAM is faster than pulling it from disk. It all depends. Velocity is a distributed cache, designed to provide high availability. ASP.NET Cache — not at all.

Do you know the performance compared with System.web.Caching.Cache?

Although Velocity has made progress from CTP1 to CTP2, it still leaves much to be desired. It will be some time before they provide all the important features in a distributed cache and even longer before it is tested in the market. I wish them good luck.

In the meantime, NCache already provides all CTP2 & V1, and many more features. NCache is the first, the most mature, and the most feature-rich distributed cache in the .NET space. NCache is an enterprise level in-memory distributed cache for .NET and also provides a distributed ASP.NET Session State. Check it out at http://www.alachisoft.com/.

NCache Express is a totally free version of NCache. Check it out at http://www.alachisoft.com/rp.php?dest=/ncache/ncache_express.html
