since generators are fired outside transaction control there is no
relationship here (necessarily)...
Tell us what component set you are using and a little more about what this
caching is all about and someone may have some suggestions for you.
you talk about a lower id commiting but also about selecting higher ids so I
can't quite follow.
But there is already some very good caching going on in some component
sets..
tell us more about the size of the datasets you are experiencing, whether
local or remote connections etc
