Everyone elses reply on this topic are good pieces of advice, but
thought I'd add one thing when it comes to PHP.
An easy way of caching the HTML output of the system would be to turn
on output buffering in PHP (ob section of the manual, ob_start(); to
begin buffering), then echo the HTML to the buffer and assign the
contents of the buffer to a variable with $var = ob_get_contents();
clear it with ob_clear(); and stop buffering with ob_end();
Or you might be able to use ob_end_cear(); to both at the same time,
but I can't remember whether this is available outside the CVS for PHP
4.2.
