Hello!

The first patch improves cache handling, providing a generic
way to trace caches.  The second patch adds a separate package/graft
cache, as was previously suggested in a comment.  The cache hit rate
can be seen by setting GUIX_PROFILING:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ time GUIX_PROFILING=package-graft-cache ./pre-inst-env guix home build -v1 -n ~/src/configuration/home-config.scm   
28.5 MB would be downloaded

Package Graft Cache:
  fresh caches:     1
  lookups:        794
  hits:           784 (98.7%)
  cache size:      10 entries

real	0m7.953s
user	0m9.091s
sys	0m0.291s
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The last patch improves performance in the presence of grafts by trimming
exploration of the call tree in ‘map/accumulate-builds’.  This is very
much a heuristic, but it does help significantly for ‘guix system’,
‘guix home’, or ‘guix package’ with many packages.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.

Ludovic Courtès (3):
  store: 'mcached' users can specify a cache ID.
  packages: Use separate package/graft cache.
  store: Use a decaying cutoff in 'map/accumulate-builds'.

Users of 'mcached' can now specify a cache ID; furthermore, the cache
hit rate is automatically recorded for all the caches accessed with
'mcached'.

* guix/store.scm (%max-store-connection-caches)
(%store-connection-cache-names): New variables.
(recorder-for-cache): New procedure.
(record-cache-lookup!): Add 'cache-id' parameter and rewrite in terms of
'recorder-for-cache'.
(lookup-cached-object): Add 'cache-id' parameter and honor it.
(%mcached): Add #:cache parameter and honor it.
(mcached): Add '=>' keyword and corresponding clauses.

This reduces the wall-clock time of:

  ./pre-inst-env guix system vm gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl -n

from 2m13s to 53s (the timings depend on which derivations have already
been built and are in store; in this case, many were missing).

* guix/store.scm (default-cutoff): New variable.
(map/accumulate-builds): Use it.  Parameterize it in recursive calls to
have decaying cutoff.
