[bt-devel] caching

[Martin Gruner]

Hi 

I added a disk caching mechanism for lexicon entries. This is a significant 
speedup for opening larger modules such as BDB or WebstersDict.

At the moment the files are written to /tmp. Can somebody tell me how to 
obtain the user's kde dir (e.g. /home/user/.kde2/share/apps/bibletime/ )? 
The files will reside there in future and be called bt-cache-$MODULENAME. 
They store version info too.
Just an example:

-rw-r--r--    1 Martin   users      123956 Okt 10 14:01 bt-cache-BDB  
(some 8,000 entries in BDB)
-rw-r--r--    1 Martin   users     2144138 Okt 10 14:57 bt-cache-WebstersDict
(some 90,000 entries in WebstersDict)

I estimate that lexicon opening time is reduced by 60% to 70%. The 
disadvantage is that it comsumes disk space.
