Since it is only really static content, and provided that when a given
element changes, its URI changes, you should definitely look at
mod_expires:

ExpiresActive On

<Location /some/static/URI/base>
   ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month" # or more
   Header append Cache-Control "private" # this tells that the proxy
won't cache, but the final client will
</Location>

You don't even need disk-based caching. The OS' pagecache will largely
fill the "need for speed".

Thanks Francis, I'm a little confused about a couple things.  1) Is the ExpiresDefault in mod_expires similar to CacheDefaultExpire in mod_cache?  2) This wouldn't address the need for a backend global cache?   Also I wanted to limit/reduce any kind of paging and it seems that with 9+G of cache I would be swapping all over the place.
