Considering how many ways this could vary depending on your exact setup, perhaps you could just try it and see? I'm willing to bet that if you'd done that you'd already know by the time I would have posted this 🙂

Yes I've done the test :6000files use $cache->clean() will take 8 seconds!

Is that too long?

If it is, you could consider using system function - rm - to do the delete, assuming you're able to identify which files are cache files (rm *_cache say). I don't know if you're using subdirectories to store your cache files (and with that many files you should be grouping them - many filesystems would struggle with a figure like 100,000 files in one directory anyway, so even the system call might be slow) - hang on, I don't think Cache_Lite has that, I think I'm thinking of Cache.

yes,I use subdirectories to store ache files,so it is very slow,and now I use another kind of caching,--- generating HTML files
