Hi

On a production machine we want to deploy caching where users would be
around 300. Which cache is
faster and why ? Mod_mem_cache or mod_disk_cache.

Thanks

There's a good explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of both here:-

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mem_cache.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/caching.html#inmemory

Basically it says you're probably better off using mod_disk_cache and
letting your OS handle the in-memory caching unless you're using
Apache as a proxy.
