+ Note that the &CacheDir; feature still calculates
+ MD5 build sigantures for the shared cache file names
+ even if you configure &SCons; to use timestamps
+ to decide if files are up to date.
+ (See the <xref linkend="chap-depends"></xref>
+ chapter for information about the &Decider; function.)
+ Consequently, using &CacheDir; may reduce or eliminate any
+ potential performance improvements
+ from using timestamps for up-to-date decisions.
