Interesting, Ill search for that info.

However, this cache is FEEDING satellite customers. I wonder if there
are some optimizations I could make to account for the rather long
latency (up to 700ms) of these client connections?

One reason I attribute to the somewhat low byte ratio is that the
community is hugely geographically diverse (Middle East, Europe and
Africa) so there may not be too much coherence in content interest.
But then again, that would show up in the hit ratio also.

I was expecting byte ratios in the order of the mythical 40% with
hits up in the 60s.
