Cache gets and cache sets

Hi.

my configuration:

$conf['cache_backends'][] = 'sites/all/modules/apc/drupal_apc_cache.inc';
$conf['cache_class_cache'] = 'DrupalAPCCache';
$conf['cache_class_cache_bootstrap'] = 'DrupalAPCCache';
$conf['apc_show_debug'] = TRUE;

PHP5.6 with APCu enabled. Installation went well and status report is ok.

I am trying to figure out what benefit this module gives. With debug mode enabled I get the reports like one quoted at the bottom.

After reloading the same page the report is still the same.

I would expect to see much more "Get"s that "Set"s in report at reload. However, it seems that for each "cache get" there is also matching "cache set" immediately after or soon behind cache get. Why this module calls "cache set" for cache records which it gets through "cache get" already?

Also at Status report there is always the statement that APC cache is running for just last few seconds:

APCu 4.0.11
APCu has been running for 3 sec. Currently caching 11 entries (407.86 KB).

I would expect cache to run longer and not to hit so many cache sets over and over again.

Any help / idea? Is this all normal? Or my APC cache is restarted on each page request for some reason?

    This module does not set a new cache item each time a cache item is read. That is a module that first retrieve a value from the cache and then it updates it, which perfectly fine for functions like variable_initialize(). During the bootstrap, I would expect it to happen often, with different cache items.

    As for why it always says it was started three seconds ago, that is because APCu is intended to function in a prefork multiprocess, or multithreaded SAPI. See APCu doesn't store in PHP 7.
    I tested on my site, which uses litespeed as SAPI: Values are not preserved between requests and APCu says it just started a few seconds before the page is loaded.
