The invention provides a method for improving frequency-based caching algorithms by maintaining a stable history of evicted items. One embodiment involves a process for caching data in a cache memory including logical pages including, upon detecting that a first page is being evicted from the cache memory, performing an addition process by adding metadata of the first page to a stable history list. Upon detecting a cache miss for a second page, if the stable history list contains metadata for the second page, then removing the second page metadata from the stable history list and applying a promotion determination for the second page to determine a priority value for the second page metadata and placing the second page in the cache memory based on the priority data. Upon detecting that metadata of a third page is to be evicted from the stable history list, applying an eviction determination to evict metadata of the third page from the stable history list based on a predetermined caching rule.
