Caching is a good choice for this problem.<br>
<br>
Store result of your calculations as a hash in a fastmmap/redis.<br>
Do also store the timestamp in the hash.<br>
<br>
Use the hash for all your subsequent request.<br>
And, all of these requests check timestamp for staleness before<br>
deciding to use the hash or go for calculations again.<br>
<br>
Redis Hash operations.<br>
