11260	File based cache not very efficient with large amounts of cached files	anteater_sa	josh	"When using the file based cache having a large number of cached pages (in my case over 100,000) makes the system inefficient as there is a function in django.core.cache.backends.filebased called _get_num_entries which actually walks through the cache direcotry structure counting files.

Maybe setting max_entries to 0 in the settings file could mean unlimited cached files, then the _get_num_entries function could be as follows:
{{{
    def _get_num_entries(self):
        count = 0
        if max_entries == 0: return count # Don't count files if max_entries is set to 0
        return count
        for _,_,files in os.walk(self._dir):
            count += len(files)
        return count
    _num_entries = property(_get_num_entries)
