Cached or not cached?¶

The Display Controller fronted plug-in comes in two versions: one cached and one not cached. How to choose which one to use?

The general rule is that the cached version should be preferred whenever possible for obvious performance reasons. However in some circumstances using the non-cached version cannot be avoided. A typical use of the non-cached version is when performing searches: if there are a lot of possible search criteria, it is not desirable or even possible to store every combination of search values into cache.
