+# Using cached processes
+
+When you run an inventory or impact assessment, the engine builds a system of equations that represents all processes and their dependencies.  
+This system is then solved in one pass to compute the results.
+
+For small models this is fine, but for large models the system can grow very large, making the solve more costly.
+
+The `@cached` annotation helps here: it tells the engine to **pre-solve a subsystem** (a process and its dependencies) during runtime.  
+The result of this local solve is then reused in the global assessment.  
+This makes the final system smaller and the overall computation faster while giving exactly the same results.
+
+## Try it yourself
+
+The file `main.lca` defines a `bake` process annotated with `@cached`.
+
+Run the following command once with the annotation, and once without:
+
+```bash
+lcaac trace sandwich_factory
+```
+
+Compare the two results:
+
+Without `@cached`, you will see `flour_production` and `salt_production` listed as dependencies of `sandwich_factory`.
+
+With `@cached`, these dependencies disappear from the trace. They are pre-solved and collapsed into the `bake` process.
+
+The impacts remain the same in both cases. Only the solving pipeline changes.
