+ *
+ * This module uses a splay tree to implement a simple cache. The cache
+ * module adds a thin layer of functionality to the splay tree. In
+ * particular:
+ *
+ * - The tree (cache) may be limited in size by the number of
+ * entries permitted or the amount of memory used. When either
+ * limit is exceeded cache entries are removed until the cache
+ * conforms.
+ * - Some statistical information is kept so that an approximate
+ * "hit ratio" can be calculated.
+ * - There are several functions available that provide access to
+ * and management of cache size limits, hit ratio, and tree
+ * trimming.
+ *
+ * The splay tree is used because recently accessed items tend toward the
+ * top of the tree and less recently accessed items tend toward the bottom.
+ * This makes it easy to purge less recently used items should the cache
+ * exceed its limits.
+ *
+ * To use this module, you will need to supply a comparison function of
+ * type ubi_trCompFunc and a node-freeing function of type
+ * ubi_trKillNodeRtn. See ubi_BinTree.h for more information on
+ * these. (This is all basic ubiqx tree management stuff.)
+ *
+ * Notes:
+ *
+ * - Cache performance will start to suffer dramatically if the
+ * cache becomes large enough to force the OS to start swapping
+ * memory to disk. This is because the nodes of the underlying tree
+ * will be scattered across memory in an order that is completely
+ * unrelated to their traversal order. As more and more of the
+ * cache is placed into swap space, more and more swaps will be
+ * required for a simple traversal (...and then there's the splay
+ * operation).
+ *
+ * In one simple test under Linux, the load and dump of a cache of
+ * 400,000 entries took only 1min, 40sec of real time. The same
+ * test with 450,000 records took 2 *hours* and eight minutes.
+ *
+ * - In an effort to save memory, I considered using an unsigned
+ * short to save the per-entry entry size. I would have tucked this
+ * value into some unused space in the tree node structure. On
+ * 32-bit word aligned systems this would have saved an additional
+ * four bytes per entry. I may revisit this issue, but for now I've
+ * decided against it.
+ *
+ * Using an unsigned short would limit the size of an entry to 64K
+ * bytes. That's probably more than enough for most applications.
+ * The key word in that last sentence, however, is "probably". I
+ * really dislike imposing such limits on things.
+ *
+ * - Each entry keeps track of the amount of memory it used and the
+ * cache header keeps the total. This information is provided via
+ * the EntrySize parameter in ubi_cachePut(), so it is up to you to
+ * make sure that the numbers are accurate. (The numbers don't even
+ * have to represent bytes used.)
+ *
+ * As you consider this, note that the strdup() function--as an
+ * example--will call malloc(). The latter generally allocates a
+ * multiple of the system word size, which may be more than the
+ * number of bytes needed to store the string.
