Since you just restarted the server, the in-memory cache is empty and none of the responses are cached. The cache_in filter is what puts the response in cache. The cache_out filter is what serves responses from cache.
I would suggest that you use disk_cache only to start with, until you get things sorted out. That way you will be able to inspect the contents of the cache on your file system and thereby ascertain that documents are indeed cached.
I am not sure how the memory cache works with the prefork MPM. I am curious to know whether the mem cache is local to each worker process, or whether it is shared among worker processes.

Josh, I enabled LogLevel debug and below is the output from the error log:

And when the browser requests the images again. I assume since I see age values in the reply that these messages are just part of the debug information.
