It is good, but it must be controlled. Also people put some efforts to
improve it...
Before i did custom patch to "trash" the cache, but after cache
improved i should rewrite it. If required, i can make cache behavior
changeable (on,off,flush ?).
Will it help for you too?

I think ifindex is good anyway, because sometimes it is better to refer
to specific ppp interface by ifindex.
