Cache-block Expiry vs. set-block scope=root variable=cache_ttl

I am curious as to whether it is more efficient to use a cache block with an expiry in the page layout, or to use the set-block within a file that is pulled via an include from the page layout. For example, I could use either of the two following methods to call an include that should change every two hours:
<b>In <i>pagelayout.tpl</i></b>

{cache-block expiry=7200}
{include uri="design:rotating_header.tpl"}
{/cache-block}

<b>In <i>rotating_header.tpl</i> (instead of using the above cache-block)</b>

{set-block scope=root variable=cache_ttl}7200{/set-block}

They both do the same thing, but I am curious if page rendering will be any faster with one, than the other.

Hi Alex

I think the first one will be a bit faster (the include call overhead), but why don't you check the performance yourself?

Thanks for your thoughts on this Paul.Your explanation makese sens.

I would check the performance myself except for the fact that my installation doesn't respond when I enable debugging. Rather annoying to say the least. Check this thread for more info on that: http://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/frustrating_debug_issue

Thanks again,

Alex
