Here's another blog post which may be of interest to BeerHouse devotees:
Caching Roles For Better Site Performance
As I've discussed before, TheBeerHouse application, as written, requires a round-trip to the database on every page request in order to fetch the list of roles the current user belongs to. This blog post discusses how to easily cache the list of roles a user belongs to, thereby avoiding those round trips and speeding page response times.
Enjoy.
