Does anybody have/had problems with the cache size?

We have around 400 permissions and 10 roles. The combinations of roles & permissions result in around ~1500 permissions.

The cache size is whooping 3.8 MB and it's a bit slow to pull it, therefore slowing down every request.
Otherwise, the cache is performing well for other stuff.

We are using:
Version: 3.18.0
Laravel Version: 8.49.0
Cache driver: Redis (The same deal is with the file driver)

Can you make a PR for fix that??

Can you upgrade to 4.2.0 and test again?

@erikn69 just tried. Same result.

@kalemdzievski i made a pull request, try using that branch, and tell me after
Dont forget

app()->make(\Spatie\Permission\PermissionRegistrar::class)->forgetCachedPermissions()

or

php artisan permission:cache-reset

[fredsal]

works for me 👍

@erikn69 I tried it out. I can confirm that this brings the size of the cache for 3.8MB down to ~160kB.
