Some words about caching
WordPress &gt; 2.0 is equipped with a powerful caching module that helps to significantly 
reduce the load on your database. This plugin is caching the results of its queries in 
case the following conditions are met
1) WordPress caching is enabled in your wp_config.php:
define (&#8216;ENABLE_CACHE&#8217;, true); 
define (&#8216;CACHE_EXPIRATION_TIME&#8217;, 1800);
2) The folder your_wordpress_dir/wp_content/cache is writable by the Webserver
3) Your site runs with PHP Safe Mode Off
