Just for context: the original discussion (back in Decembr) involved
figuring out which manager to use to cache pages rendered by
filesystem-based skins.

I can see a need for the kind of caching you describe, but it is *not*
"page caching";  the RAM-based cache is fine for such items, but you
will want to construct the key for the cache based on other parameters
(e.g., the catalog query).

Caching "fully-rendered" pages in a RAM cache blocks your opportunities
to scale the application, I think.
