Static Pages
If all the other caching methods are not enough or you can’t apply them, there is a last solution: Caching the complete generated pages. This can be done via an excellent plugin called WP-Cache. The plugin will cache the whole generated page on the disk and skip the complete WordPress execution on further requests. After a specified time or if you publish a new post, the cache will be cleared and generated once again. This method is the fastest available, but it will break some functionality like plugins which add dynamic content to your blog or count page impressions since they are executed only once. Note: If you want to use this plugin and the PHP Compiler Cache APC together, have a look at this posting from Mark Jaquith.

We created a system like this, actually exactly like this. It parses the whole page element and saves it into a supercache table.

It could be expanded to the forums and then deleted on reply/comment/review/edit

You wouldnt believe how much load this saves.

Should it be one of the core things that cotonti offers?
