The DeepSee Shell best Practices Series - Execute an MDX query in the DeepSee Shell with/without  results cache

This cache is different from cache reset. Cache reset clears everything in the namespace but “cache off” only clears the cache in ^DeepSee.Cache.Results and ^DeepSee.Cache.Axis global node for the corresponding cube. The difference is quite smaller in the case as below, but in some cases it can be a big difference.

^DeepSee.Cache.Results, which contains values for each query previously executed for a given cube. This global also contains meta-information about those queries that can be used to quickly rerun them.

^DeepSee.Cache.Axis, which contains metadata about the axes of previously run queries. DeepSee uses this information whenever it needs to iterate through the axes of a given query.
