Useful code or premature optimization??

Hi all:

The compression code seems to be working ok. I have support for

  gzip, brotli and zstd

on the fly compression working.

I also have precompressed file support for these methods working.  The
precompressed support stat(2)'s files on every request.  I wonder if
it is a good idea to cache the results of the stat call to speed up
the code? In theory it is sound.

Caching will not work in cgi mode. I am not sure that this will work
with roundup-server in forking mode. I think the cache will start as
empty after the fork (since only child precesses will do the
stat). However I think it should work with wsgi or other persistent
methods.

Thoughts?
