I'm not an expert on Hibernate cache strategies but this seems a 
relevant use case.

Sorry for replying with another question: are you planning to keep on 
supporting both versioning and non-versioning data containers in 
transactional mode?

My 2 cents are that once versioning is well tested and optimized the 
code base would probably be simplified if eventually it supported only 
versioning... that would also simplify our work to re-base the 
transactional replication/distribution protocols that we've been 
developing so far ;-)
