That's a really interesting module; never seen it before.

The reason I'm doing this by hand is to reduce overhead, both in execution and loading. All the prefabbed modules that are designed to do something like this are simply too complex for my needs. Which means writing something that is very specific to the parent.

I'm just looking for the simpliest, most efficient solution to my question.

This is more of an infatuation that an actual need.

Let me put it this way: without using any modules, what is the fastest and smallest caching system you can come up with that stores and recalls blocks of data indexed by a Unique ID. The data is passed as a scalar. The cache must have a maximum size of 30 elements and be able to order itself according to hit frequency.
