A recent benchmark on a single L40S GPU demonstrated that vLLM's prefix caching feature can significantly boost throughput and reduce latency for LLM inference. When tested with a 4,000-token system prompt and 64 concurrent users, enabling prefix caching increased output throughput by approximately 7.5 times and reduced the p99 time to first token from 23.9 seconds to 0.38 seconds. The benchmark also revealed that prefix caching minimizes the performance impact of longer system prompts, with throughput remaining nearly constant across different prompt lengths. AI
