Performance Benefits of live Cache Avoids/reduces disk I/O:

Data is kept in main memory, all operations run in memory

so large data cache necessaryDisk based logging need not be used

Reduces dataflow between application and data management: Application logic runs where the data is, avoiding network load

Reduces runtime of operations on data:

Application logic operates with COM routines on object data faster than SQLcommands on relational data
