In reply to RT Cunningham.

Nope, I definitely wasn't intending to imply that static caching is bad. I was just trying to point out that things are not as simple as just mindlessly plugging in the caching plugin with the most fancy bells and whistles.

I'm intending to use the Nginx page caching with a 60'ish second cache refresh time. With the refresh time that short, I won't worry about the cache needing to refresh.

It is possible to do cache purging with Nginx, but I haven't figured it out yet and I haven't had much luck getting the purge module working. Since I don't badly need purging, I'm intending to just make do without any purging until I get around to figuring it out at a later date.
