That's an interesting idea... I'll give it a shot.

If I were just looking at performance from the standpoint of a single
session, I'd agree that it probably wouldn't be worth the effort.
However, with multiple simultaneous sessions/users on a typical
cycle-starved VPS it is another story.  A front-end cache wouldn't help
as only part of the page (i.e. the unchanging components) will be static
across multiple requests.  (Note: the truly static content including css
and javascript is already being served by Apache)
