Once configured, it should work for any page within the web site just as it would if you were using a traditional cache.

I can’t say with 100% certainty, but its my understanding that this allows you to overcome issues with short bursts in activity, such as spikes in traffic or occasionally running background processes (say a background index generation). By having more available processes, these tasks can run with less context switching. However, increasing the counts has (to my knowledge) no impact on your quota limits. Think of like it like having a bigger engine in your car but still limited to a fixed amount of fuel.

You’re right, in shared mode the “?” tells I will increase the number of processes. Thanks for your explanation. What is the advantage of increasing the number of processes/threads? When should you do that?

The text is misleading here. Hover your mouse over the ‘?’ icon to the right of the field in the management portal. You see that in free/shared, you’re increasing the process/thread count but when you’re at reserved, its actually increasing the vm instance count.

Thanks for your reply! In shared mode I have the option to add more instances. Do you mean that adding more instances here only means adding more threads? What does that mean exactly?
