Title Body

I'm trying to use a MemoryCache in .net 4.5 to keep track of and automatically update various items, but it seems like no matter what I set as an AbsoluteExpiration it will always only expire in 15 seconds or more. I want the cache items to expire every 5 seconds, but it always expires in at least 15 seconds, and if I move the expiration time out, it will end up being something like 15 seconds + my refresh interval, but never less than 15 seconds. Is there some internal timer resolution that I'm not seeing? I looked through a bit of the reflected System.Runtime.Caching.MemoryCache code and nothing stood out to me, and I haven't been able to find anybody else who has this issue out on the internet. I have a very basic example below that illustrates the problem. What I want is for CacheEntryUpdate to be hit every 5 seconds or so and update with new data, but, as I've said, it only ever gets hit in 15+ seconds. static MemoryCache MemCache; static int RefreshInterval = 5000; protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (MemCache == null) MemCache = new MemoryCache("MemCache"); if (!MemCache.Contains("cacheItem")) { var cacheObj = new object(); var policy = new CacheItemPolicy { UpdateCallback = new CacheEntryUpdateCallback(CacheEntryUpdate), AbsoluteExpiration = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddMilliseconds(RefreshInterval) }; var cacheItem = new CacheItem("cacheItem", cacheObj); MemCache.Set("cacheItem", cacheItem, policy); } } private void CacheEntryUpdate(CacheEntryUpdateArguments args) { var cacheItem = MemCache.GetCacheItem(args.Key); var cacheObj = cacheItem.Value; cacheItem.Value = cacheObj; args.UpdatedCacheItem = cacheItem; var policy = new CacheItemPolicy { UpdateCallback = new CacheEntryUpdateCallback(CacheEntryUpdate),
