Thanks for the link, interesting topic and an introduction to two new useful tools!

Of course not all of these suggestions can be implemented on all websites - but a few of (the more obvious of them) can help in almost all cases: adding "expires" headers and cutting the comments out of javascript files... I wonder if doing the same to php files would help? Of course this means keeping a duplicate comment-ed "working file" locally so that I can keep track of what all my script does...

My biggest problem is with IE's caching of Ajax http requests... for the time being I am obliged to add a "dummy" timestamp variable to catalog pages to ensure that any updates get shown instead of the old version. No can-do for any improvement there.
