Hi,<BR>
<BR>
We've been looking at using Varnish 2.1.5 with ESIs to allow us to cache the bulk of our page content whilst still generating the user-specific sections dynamically. The sticking point for us is that some of these page sections cannot be cached. It seems, based on both observed behaviour and a quick look at the code for ESI_Deliver, that Varnish is processing and requesting content for the ESIs serially rather than in parallel. <BR>
<BR>
I know there has been a lot of work on ESIs for Varnish 3, but as far as I can tell they are still processed serially. Are there any plans to switch to a parallel processing model? If not, might this be a worthy feature request for a future version of Varnish?<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
<BR>
