Why this formula appears here
That convergence on roughly one tenth of base input for a cache read — independently verified today across all three platforms [ 2 , 6 , 10 ] — supports a design rule. Let w be the write-price multiplier for the chosen retention window and r 0.1 the read-price multiplier. For a prefix served identically R times within that window — the first serving is the write, the remaining R-1 are reads — caching beats never caching once
