    Documentation:
 
    Some sites have a set of static files that are really busy, and
    change infrequently (or even on a regular schedule). Save time
    by caching open handles to these files. This module, unlike
    mod_mmap_static, caches open file handles, not file content.
    On systems (like Windows) with heavy system call overhead and
    that have an efficient sendfile implementation, caching file handles
    offers several advantages over caching content. First, the file system
    can manage the memory, allowing infrequently hit cached files to
    be paged out. Second, since caching open handles does not consume
    significant resources, it will be possible to enable an AutoLoadCache
    feature where static files are dynamically loaded in the cache
    as the server runs. On systems that have file change notification,
    this module can be enhanced to automatically garbage collect
    cached files that change on disk.
 
    This module should work on Unix systems that have sendfile. Place
    cachefile directives into your configuration to direct files to
    be cached.
 
        cachefile /path/to/file1
        cachefile /path/to/file2
        ...
 
    These files are only cached when the server is restarted, so if you
    change the list, or if the files are changed, then you'll need to
    restart the server.
 
    To reiterate that point:  if the files are modified *in place*
    without restarting the server you may end up serving requests that
    are completely bogus.  You should update files by unlinking the old
    copy and putting a new copy in place.
 
    There's no such thing as inheriting these files across vhosts or
    whatever... place the directives in the main server only.
 
    Known problems:
 
    Don't use Alias or RewriteRule to move these files around...  unless
    you feel like paying for an extra stat() on each request.  This is
    a deficiency in the Apache API that will hopefully be solved some day.
    The file will be served out of the file handle cache, but there will be
    an extra stat() that's a waste.
