+## Intent
+To avoid expensive re-acquisition of resources. The resources retain their identity, are kept in some
+fast-access storage, and are re-used to avoid having to acquire them again.

+
+## Applicability
+Use the Dirty Flag pattern when
+
+* Repetitious acquisition, initialization, and release of the same resource causes unnecessary performance overhead.
