Hmm, I'm getting more visitors a day than that, from basically nothing 
at the end of April 2003.  So, to be honest Cees, I'm not sure if that 
indicates it is helping or not.  But I agree it looks like it _should_ 
help (I downloaded Janus and installed it on a dev box, where I'm 
looking at it now).

With my site, the URL will always be:

http://www.bountifulbaby.com/seaside/index/{all the Seaside gobble-de-goop}

With my site, all rendered components are swapped in and out dynamically 
at runtime, and the base URL never changes.  The base URL is always:

http://www.bountifulbaby.com/seaside/index/

Unless I'm missing something, that doesn't seem to fit with what Janus 
is expecting, because this looks like it will cause the same static page 
from the static page cache to always be returned.

Hmm, or maybe not, because I suppose I could have the first static page 
contain links whose base URL's are something other than the above, which 
would then allow it to map into the other static pages.

It looks like the biggest issue then would probably be the creation of 
the static page content for the static page cache, and keeping those 
pages reasonably in sync with the actual site.  That looks like a 
non-trivial problem, too.

I need to look at it some more.
