ncachepoint sound very good. like other products that existed before it e.g storagepoint, etc. ncachepoint too externalizes and caches blobs that really help much in putting load off from sql database. moreover, the software is good for caching other ncachepoint stuff as well, it is a good think to look at for heavy sharepoint users

This is true the SQL bottlenecks does occur that affects SharePoint performance. .NET applications using SQL Server faces same problems, too.

The issue of SQL can be resolved if BLOBs are not stored in SQL Server but in an external store instead, like EBS.

Further improvements to SharePoint performance and scalability can be resolved by using a third-party caching solution like Ncachepoint or others that do the same thing. Ncachepoint not only externalizes BLOBs but also caches them. It also caches Lists, Views and Sessions.

What else to cache? Ncachepoint caches most things that will lead to performance boost. I think Ncachepoint from alachisoft, a company that is already in making caching solutions for .NET has done a good job of making this software for Ncachepoint.

I agree with you in some points. I also want to point out that systems that are highly customizable are usually not trimmed on performance for your specific need.
Its therefore necessary that you understand what you do when customizing a platform like SharePoint. There are many DO’s and DONT’s. Understanding the Platform helps a lot when you write your own WebParts or when you define your Lists, Views and Indices.
I spent some time analyzing the SharePoint object model to understand how to best develop against sharepoint lists and views and how to best customize it.

Hope this helps
