As part of my obsession with tweaking things and general efficiency, I have set up wp-cache by Richard Galli. Currently looking good, though I am not sure that I get the traffic to warrant it.

While you’re absolutly right, that the cache plugin probably could handle slasdot effect kind of traffic and that you and i probably won’t get that much traffic, consider this. We, for instance, have a (small) server. We’re hosting like a 10 or 20 websites. I install WordPress on many of them (also more and more using the WordPress 1.5 pages feature) and THEN traffic on all these sites together can be a hit on the poor processor running PHP on all the wordpress installs all the time
Very true, that is roughly the way I have been using it. I took the cache time down to 15 minutes as a balance between server load and maintaining the dynamism of the site. The biggest problem is the SE bots – every page crawled creates a cache page and when a bot goes through everything, 150+ pages can be created. I wonder if it is possible to add something to the cache script so that only when a page has been viewed for nseconds, a cache page is created, thus preventing bots making pages.
